Sagano

Short Description: Sagano by Frogginette. This sophisticated sweater features a simple yet striking textured band and thoughtful, understated details. This sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, with a textured band that runs from the top of the yoke down the sleeves. The sleeves are put on hold while the body is worked, then the sleeves are worked in the round. Optional short rows can be worked to raise the back neck of the sweater for a better fit.
