The 1983 Sweater is the perfect design to experiment with colours and textures! Choose a fluffy yarn for the body for the ultimate comfy sweater. It features a crew neck and a round stranded colourwork yoke knitted from the top down. Some rows include three colours, so experience with colourwork is recommended. There are more colourwork details at the hems and cuffs.
