The Birds and Branches Sweater is worked top-down with a saddle shoulder construction. The body is knitted primarily in the round, with only the first few neck rows worked flat. Fully charted throughout, the design features unique motifs across the front and back. Because the chart motifs are fixed in width and height, this pattern comes in a single size; fit can be customized by adjusting your gauge.
