Describtion

The Night & Day Sweater is bottom-up drop shoulder sweater available in ten different adult sizes.

The front and back pieces are knitted separately, then seamed along the sides and joined at the shoulders. The shoulders are shaped with short rows for a better fit.

The sleeve construction features short rows and additional decreases at the underarm, creating a comfortable, anatomically shaped sleeve.

The sweater is worked in intarsia, continuing on both the front and back. The intarsia pattern on the back is worked as a mirror image of the front. The intarsia pattern is provided in multiple sizes, with a separate chart for each size.
