Published in Laine Publishing's 52 Weeks of Sweaters, the Boyfriend Sweater by designer Olga Putano is a cosy, slightly oversized knit. Classic raglan shaping, stockinette in the round and holding two different textured yarns together make this sweater a breeze to make. It is worked seamlessly from the top down.
