Primrose Sweater
The Primrose Sweater is worked top down using the contiguous shoulder construction. You begin by shaping the back neck with short rows while increasing across the front and back. The yoke is then shaped with increases worked in different sections: some across the front, back, and sleeves, and others only across the front and back.
Once all increases are complete, the stitches are separated for the body and sleeves. The body is worked in stockinette stitch in the round to the hem, while the sleeves continue the shoulder chart motif down to the cuffs.
Optional embroidered leaves can be added along the cuffs and hem to frame the lace flowers and add extra texture.
The patterns comes with a Horizontal Bust Darts guide you can use for almost any pattern.
