The matching LENU hood is 50% off when you purchase both patterns or bought the LENU sweater previously

This variation of a contiguous saddle shoulder (by Susie Myers) fits really great and if you are not so much into cable knitting (like me :) this front panel will make you happy … you only need to know how to decrease and YO!

LENU is worked seamlessly from the top down. The neck is shaped with short rows and then you work in the round and increase for the shoulders and then for the body and sleeves down to sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold, underarm sts are cast on, and you continue to work the body to the ribbing. After the body is completed, the sleeve sts are picked up again to work the sleeves top down in the round. The neck finishing is worked last.
