Sirdar 10596 Hayfield Bonus DK V Neck Sweater Knitting Pattern [Digital Download]

About the Hayfield Bonus V Neck Sweater Knitting Pattern

Create this boxy V neck using Sirdar Bonus Double Knit or any double knit yarn with a tension of 28 rows x 22 stitches to 10cm. It has a low V neck with dropped sleeves and 2 x 2 ribbing at the hem and neck. 

The construction is a traditional one, knitting a back and front with two sleeves and sewing them together. I always find mattress stitch the best way to sew up my garments.

Colour shown is Magenta 564. I do not stock this yarn but it is widely available.
