A classic sweater with a touch of sparkle, adding a little shine to your wardrobe.

The sweater is worked from top down in Stockinette stitch, holding one strand of mohair together with one strand of metallic yarn to give the fabric a subtle sheen. The shoulders are shaped using short rows and the sleeves are elbow-length.

The work begins with the upper back. Stitches for each front are then picked up from the cast-on edge of the back and worked separately to the given length. The fronts are then joined and worked in one piece to the same length as the back. Front and back are then joined and the body is worked in the round. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round. Stitches for the neck ribbing are picked up around the neck opening and the ribbing is worked in the round, folded in half and sewn in place.
The pattern includes a photo tutorial for the German short row technique.
