Every element of this sweater, from the stitch patterns and shaping to the sleeve length and bind off method, was chosen to make the most of the play of colors in this beautiful variegated yarn. The center back panel is worked in a simple lace pattern from the lower edge to the neckline. The side panels are worked from the center out and joined at the side edges using a unique seaming technique, then short, ribbed sleeves are worked. The ribbed lower band and lace-patterned front band are worked last.
