Top-Down Rolled Boat Neck Sweater

Intermediate Knitting
Knitted in one piece with Adorn Cotton Cashmere DK, this summer sweater has 3/4 length sleeves and is worked from the top down in stocking stitch with a rolled boat neck collar, ribbed side panels and hem.  The sleeves and body are designed to be knitted in the round so that no sewing up (apart from securing loose ends and closing the small opening under the armholes) is required.
