Forever Sweater is a light and delicate sweater with puff sleeves. It is knit in double strands silk mohair yarn in stockinette stitch on 4 mm needles. The sweater can be worn open as a v-neck or closed creating a key hole neckline.

The sweater is knit top down. The neckline and shoulders are knit back and forth with raglan increases. When all increases are made, the yoke and sleeves are separated and the front pieces are gathered in front. The yoke is finished knitting in the round. Techniques used include german short rows and left-leg increases in addition to basic stitches. All special techniques are described and linked to demo videos.
