This sweater/tee/top has been designed with “channels” in the shoulders and the bottom of the “neck flaps” in which you can run a ribbon/cord, so you can create a variety of looks.

I’ve also attached some neon buttons to the sides of one of the “neck flaps” so it can be worn like a cowl neck, or upside down as a big cowl neck top!

It’s worked from the top down, joining in the round after the armpits, and starting with flat sections for the neck flaps. It ends at the bottom rib, so you can use up all your yummy yarn!

This is a one skein – one size pattern. It’s easy enough to make it wider or longer by adding more yarn, casting on more stitches and/or knitting more rows. (Same logic applies for making it smaller).

The pattern was written especially with Cashmere Ombré 2 ply by artyarns in mind. It won’t be nearly as nice in anything else…

The pattern is a free gift with every purchase of this amazing yarn (plus 4 other patterns!)
