A classic turtleneck sweater in two-coloured jacquard. The pattern is a vintage-inspired combination of two different types of checks, each with its own expression to form vertical stripes. A solid colour twisted rib breaks up the pattern along the back of the shoulder.

The sweater is knitted top-down. The yoke is worked flat, after which the work is gathered and the body and sleeves are knitted in the round. The checkered pattern is easy to follow and all the stitches on the purl rows are worked in the same colour as the previous row.
