The Bower Sweater is a contiguous top down sweater with a v neckline.

It starts with the bow that is 40”| 50 cm long in garter. Then, the neckline stitches are picked up from the center of the bow, placing the markers for the shoulder. Shoulder and neckline are increased at the same time. The shoulders have 2 increases on each marker. Then, it is time to join the round and start the sleeves increases, that are worked from the same markers from the shoulder.



After the yoke is finished, body and sleeves are separated with a few increases under the arms.

Body is worked to the desired length, with a 1,25” | 3 cm rib.

Italian Bind off is optional.



The sleeves are worked in the round for desired length with a bow detail in the end.
