Midnight Melody is a relaxed, seamless top-down sweater with plenty of room for individual adjustments.

The sweater is worked from the top down, allowing you to customize the body and sleeve lengths. Choose between two neckline finishes: a folded double neckband or a classic ribbed neckline.

The pattern includes two gauge options, giving you flexibility in your yarn choice and the finished sweater measurements.

Please refer to the measurements for your chosen gauge option when selecting your size.
