Cherry Bark Sweater Pattern

The delightfully textured Cherry Bark Sweater is a skillful revamp of its predecessor, the Cherry Bark Vest

With a panel in the front and an all-over pattern in the back, this crewneck, long-sleeved sweater offers the perfect combination of interest and comfort.

Arranmore Light brings a luxurious feel to this pullover, with a tweedy blend of cashmere, silk, and Merino that offers beautiful drape and softness. The front and back are knit flat from the bottom up and then seamed before picking up stitches for the sleeves. The pattern also includes an option to knit the neckband seamed or seamlessly. Choose your favorite color, and get your needles ready for a rhythmic and relaxing knit with just enough variety to keep things interesting.
