FOGGY SWEATER is a sweater with refined balloon silhouette. Its gently sloped drop shoulders, deep armholes, and gradually narrowing sleeves make this sweater wears like a breeze.

Selvage on the armhole can be visible or hidden. If your choice of yarn knits fluffy and/or squishy, the visible selvage would accentuate the finished sweater with more charm.
Fitted or oversized, feel free to try your own interpretation of sizing, away from the recommended ease, to bring out the uniqueness of this sweater.
Hope this sweater makes your knitting more playful.

This sweater starts topdown from the shoulder. First, create the back shoulder with short rows then continue to the armhole. Pick up stitches from the back shoulder, shape the shoulder with short rows, and increase for the neckline and continue to the armhole. After joining the front and back, knit round to the hem. For the sleeves: pick up from the armhole to knit round to the cuff. Finally, pick up stitches from the neckline to finish the neckband.
