Swinging Leaves is designed for those who love nature and all the details of it. It can be done with both short or long sleeves. Create it with wool yarn if you want to wear it on cold winter days or in cotton if you want to wear it in summer. The pattern is worked with the top-down technique. The stitches of the sleeves are put on hold while the body of the sweater is completed. The suspended stitches are taken up again and the sleeves are created.

The sweater’s construction requires knowledge of the following techniques: cast on, 1x1 rib stitch, stockinette stitch, increase stitches, cast off stitches, german short row and pick up stitches.
