Between Two Skylines is a simple-construction, top-down, seamless, v-neck sweater following the contiguous sleeve method for creating the shoulder and neck shaping. The cable and lace design is only at the bottom of both the sleeves and body, adding interest to the knit while finishing up the piece.

PATTERN NOTES

Between Two Skylines is worked seamlessly from the top-down using the contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers, SusieM on Ravelry. This includes building the shoulders and neckline by knitting flat back and forth until neckline is complete, then knitting in the round for remainder of the body and sleeves.

Full instructions will be provided in this pattern on how to accomplish this. Once the body is split for the sleeves, the sleeves are put on waste yarn or stitch holders, and the body is continued in the round until complete. Sleeves are then picked back up to finish.

Instructions for lace/cablework at bottom of body and sleeves are provided in written format as well as via chart.

This pattern has been both tech edited and tested.
