Whether you make this sweater in Summer hues (I used Ella Rae, Cozy Bamboo, Color 111, Lavender) and wear a camisole under it or Autumn/Winter shades with a turtleneck, you’ll love the versatility of this sweater. Made in the yarn suggested, this sweater is soft and drapey without being oversized. Since I hate doing seams of any kind, the body of this sweater is knitted in the round thus avoiding the bulk of seams and the time and material it takes to make them. The sleeves are cast on off the sides of the body which may be a new technique for some. Though it can be a tricky process, once mastered it opens a whole new option for sweater making! When the sleeves and body are complete, the knitter has the option to do the shoulder seams with a Three Needle Bind Off or the Kitchener Stitch. Though I personally prefer the Kitchener stitch, either will be appropriate.

I’d love your feed back and an corrections if found!

Thank you for your business.
