I get more compliments on this sweater than any other one I have made. The stitch makes it so special. It is a simple design, easy to make (the only challenge is the stitch) and the result is so special. With a zipper, the jacket is more sporty and with hooks and eyes it is more polished. The basketweave stitch is very dense, making it a very warm garment.
