DIY Kit - Audrey Top-Down Sweater
Dream is our new name for Merino Worsted yarn. Though the name is different and we have a new palette of color offerings, nothing else about Dream has changed: it is the same yarn you know and love!
PATTERN NOTES
This sweater is knitted in the round from the neck to the armholes, then stitches are placed on hold for the sleeves while the body is worked in the round to the bottom edge, with A-line shaping. When the body is complete, the sleeves are worked in the round to the cuff.
This sweater is worked using 2 strands of yarn held together resulting in a thick, plush fabric.

Note: This kit requires US 13 (9 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm). For sleeves and neckline you will need to use magic loop method when using 32’’ (80 cm) circular needles. To avoid magic loop for sleeves you can use an additional 16’’ (40 cm) circulars OR DPN’s.

Care: Dry clean or hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. Note that exposing wool to heat (hot water) or agitation (machine washing) will cause it to felt.
