The Skye Sweater Mini is a DK weight top down sweater featuring raindrop rib stitches, honeycomb cables, 2x2 rib, purl rows, eyelets, drop shoulders and an oversized fit. It is worked in the round from the top down, starting flat with the back yoke. Stitches are picked up for each front shoulder and are knit down until the front and back yokes are connected at the underarms. Decreases are made between each texture section to accommodate their different gauges. The body is continued to be knit down in the round to the hem. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves and are knit down in the round in a raindrop rib stitch. Stitches are picked up for the collar.
