Karamelli Sweater is a take on the classic crew neck sweater, with plenty of positive ease and cropped body. The sample is knitted in delicious colors from Aara Yarn and these joyful colors make this sweater lovely to knit and to wear. Karamelli is also a perfect chance to mix those single skeins of dk weight yarn you might already have in your stash, waiting for that perfect project.

The sweater is worked from top down in one piece, starting with the back piece and then picking up stitches for the shoulders and front. The bracelet-length, tapered sleeves are my absolute favorite.
