A perfect layer for those extra-cold days or as a cozy jacket, Lutherie
by Laura Chau is a top-down sweatercoat that is sure to find a perfect spot in
your wardrobe! Two strands of worsted weight yarn are held together for a cozy
marled look and warm fabric. Shaped through the waist for a fitted look, and
knit in one piece from the neck down with shaped buttonbands for a fun twist—they
incorporate short rows so that they’re wider towards the bottom of the sweater.
You can customize the length of the sleeves and body easily, and it’ll still
knit up quickly and easily.
