CONSTRUCTION

Both the henley pullover and the cardigan sweater are knit from the top down. Piece is worked flat until underarms, where stitches are then reserved for the sleeves on scrap yarn. Pullover body is then worked in the round whereas the cardigan variation is worked flat below the underarms. Both pullover and cardigan sleeves are worked in the round after picking up the reserved sts from the scrap yarn.

REQUIRED SKILLS

• Increase and decrease stitches – K2TOG, SSK, M1R, M1L

INSTRUCTIONS

The pattern is fully charted, but also includes complete written directions so the ability to read a chart is not necessary to work this pattern.

YARN NOTES

Variegated yarns work great for this sweater, but look for yarn with short color changes to get the best effect. Additionally, pick a yarn with a good twist. It will be easier to work when using such small needles.
