When I created CLEAR SKIES, I wanted a timeless and versatile sweater that you could wear every day. It’s the perfect choice when you don’t know what to wear in the morning. With CLEAR SKIES you are always dressed elegantly and comfortably. Whether for a casual day at work or a cozy evening with friends - CLEAR SKIES is suitable for every occasion and can be easily combined with different outfits.

CLEAR SKIES is knit seamlessly from the top down. The high neckline is shaped with short rows to achieve a beautiful fit. While the majority of the sweater is worked in Stockinette, the star stitch detail makes it a very fun and engaging project.

The simple design and lovely Peruvian wool have quickly made it one of my all time favorite knits. I hope you will love your CLEAR SKIES just as much as I love mine! Happy knitting!
