CANDY HENLEY SWEATER

The Candy Henley Sweater is a top-down, drop-shoulder henley-style style sweater.

The back panel is worked first, and stitches are then picked up to continue the body downward. Sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked in the round to the cuffs.

This pattern uses extensive double knitting techniques and includes several unconventional construction steps, making it an advanced-level project.

A reference video (Korean) is included for the button band section to guide you through the construction process.
This pattern is recommended for knitters who are already comfortable with double knitting techniques.
