Sweater Good Mood is a modern slightly oversized design with a polo neck. The main stitch used in the pattern is a half-fisherman’s rib stitch.

This design is knitted top-down seamlessly. It is based on a raglan construction. The neckline is shaped using German short rows. While the rest of the sweater is worked in the round. The yoke is shaped by increasing stitches. Firstly, stitches are increased at the back and at the front of the sweater to shape the yoke. Then, stitches are added also in the sleeves to create a decorative effect. adding increases also in the sleeves sections to create a decorative effect. Next, stitches are divided between the body and the sleeves and each of this section is knitted separately. The stitches in the body section are evenly decreased to shape the waist. Sleeves are worked using both increase and decrease techniques to create decorative effects. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the neckline in order to knit the polo neck.

This design is knitted with two strands held together for a melange effect: 1 strand of monochromatic aran weight yarn and 1 strand of hand dyed fingering yarn.
