Novembris Soft is worked in worsted weight yarn and embodies the ultimate big, soft, cozy sweater energy.
The sweater has a boxy silhouette and is worked sideways, with the front and back made separately and shaped to create a distinctive European-style shoulder. Textured flat crochet cables are formed as you work using a combination of short rows and slip-stitch techniques, while the ribbing is fully integrated and worked seamlessly alongside the main fabric. The sleeves are worked separately and sewn into the armholes.
