The Breton Sweater by Fibre Co. is the perfect stripe sweater and a classic for any wardrobe. Worked from the bottom up in the round to the armhole and then worked flat. The set-in sleeves are worked in the round and then seamed for stability. This sweater is an ideal opportunity to learn the jogless stripe method creating beautifully seamless stripes when working in the round.
