This sweater is knit from the top down, with sleeves that are separated after the yoke is worked. This pattern includes optional waist shaping, so the garment may be knit straight or with some definition at the waistline. Providing full coverage of the upper body and ending with a wide ribbed band, this sweater is perfect for keeping out winter chills.

A note about the yarn: BC Garn Semilla Melange is a wonderfully soft yarn with a beautiful blooming effect after blocking. It is 100% wool, so it is perfect for stranded colorwork.
