This is a lovely slightly oversized 3/4 sleeve sweater, worked by making the front and back, seaming shoulders, then the neckline and sleeves are added.

You may customize sleeve length if you prefer a 3/4 sleeve or full length. This sweater looks great on sizes S-L. See photos. We have used both Malabrigo Rasta and Knit Collage Spun Cloud with great results.

I originally made this in Knit Collage Spun Cloud and it works beautifully, see photo with size small model wearing the Creme Brûlée Spun Cloud. And then we made it in Malabrigo Rasta in Azul Profundo and used Caracol (doubling it) in the same color for the back. The results were also stunning. You can choose to use a different color for the back or even the sleeves. If you are an experienced knitter you can also do a 3-needle bind off instead of binding off top shoulders and then seaming. At some point we will post a video to YouTube showing exactly how to do that.Be creative and make it your own!
