If the sweater has a pattern associated with it, you will find a link from the project page to the pattern page. Two-toned gray cardigan: this was self-designed. There is no pattern. Rav project page: https://ravel.me/Rox/gs Two-toned gray vest: this was an adaptation of Eunny Jang's Deep-V Argyle Vest. The original pattern was knit with stranded colorwork in the round, and included steeks. I changed it to flat knitting with seams, and swapped out the stitch pattern, but kept the dimensions of the silhouette, including the waist shaping.
