The Serenity Stripe Sweater is one of those go-to sweaters that is so comfortable and cozy you will not want to take it off! Our Serenity Boucle yarn is ultra-light weight and soft. This sweater is an oversized drop-sleeve construction, worked seamlessly from the top down.  It is worked both flat and in the round, beginning with the turtleneck and then working the back and front pieces, at first, separately and then together, ending with a split hem.  Sleeves are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round with slight decreases.  This sweater is truly the perfect piece to add to your hand knit wardrobe.
