The Artist Sweater PATTERN- Dream (Merino Worsted)
This sweater is worked in the round from the hem to the armholes, then back and front are worked separately to the end of raglan shaping. The sleeves are worked in the round from the cuff to the armholes, then back and forth to the end of raglan shaping. The pieces are joined together for the yoke, which is worked in the round through the neckband. Finally, the raglan seams are sewn together. To achieve the right weight yarn is held double - pull from 2 balls of yarn at the same time. Cuffs, neckband and bottom rib are done holding two strands of same color yarn - C1 - Color 1. The rest of the sweater is done holding 2 strands of contrasting color - one strand of C1 - Color 1 and one strand of C2 - Color 2.
This listing is for the pattern only. After checkout, you will receive a digital copy of the pattern by email.
