Worked top down from a pretty Irish moss stitch neckband, this square-necked 4ply sweater is easy to knit and very versatile.

The neckband and borders are all edged with a delicate garter stitch shadow line, while dainty eyelets form the feminine raglan shaping. A simple two row repeat forms the four row pattern of the neckband, hem and cuffs
