Overview

The Krysia Sweater is a drop shoulder sweater with an allover lace and cable motif.
The sweater is knit top down. You start by knitting the cable panels that make up the shoulders and proceed to pick up the back and fronts. After some neck and armhole shaping, you join the front and back and continue to work the body in the round. You then pick up and work a double-folded neckband. To finish, you pick up the sleeves, which echo the lace and cables worked on the body.
