Description:
Nothing feels better than wearing a cozy and warm colorwork sweater on a cold winter day.
The Chandelier sweater is no exception!
This DK weight garment is knitted seamlessly from the top down. After a 2/2 rib collar and a few short rows, the colorwork design is created using one easy chart. All of it is a simple 2-color stranded design, with the exception of 1 or 2 rounds (depending on size) where a third color is used. This design is perfect for any adventurous beginner!

As per the conventional seamless construction, the yoke is finished first and split between sleeves and body, which are then completed separately.

As a final touch, cuffs and hem end with a beautiful 2/2 corrugated rib.
