DIY Kit - Peacock Plumes Sweater
The body of this sweater is knit flat in two pieces: the front panel and back panel. The front panel is mostly knit in a lace motif, and the back panel is mostly knit in stockinette. The panels are seamed together at the shoulders. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the outer edge of the body and worked in the round.
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!
