Inspired by her ruggedly active family, designer Robyn Chachula
designed this pair of sweaters for the family on the go. The sweaters
are easy to throw on when the weather gets cold but are still
lightweight enough to play in. The understated texture is easy to
master, making these sweaters a quick gift for the boys and men in your
life. See the Winter 2007 issue of Interweave Crochet for a men's version.
