The Moonlight Sweater is a wardrobe staple mirroring the child version of this sweater, with an intended oversized fit. It is knit from the top down, working back and forth to first create the back yoke with shoulder shaping. Then stitches are picked up to create the left and right shoulders, with increases to shape the neckline. Then the two shoulders are joined together to create the front yoke. Once the front yoke has been completed, the front and back yoke are joined together in the round where all stitches are continued to be knitted in stockinette until you reach where indicated to begin the colourwork from a chart and finish with a 1 x 1 rib. Sleeve stitches are picked up from the armholes that have been made, which are worked in stockinette with decreases to create a tapered long sleeve, where colourwork is done before the cuff which is finished with a 1 x 1 rib. Stitches are also picked up to create a 1 x 1 rib collar for the neck.

Charts are provided for the colourwork portions.
