The design for Naiad is defined by its elegant, meticulously shaped sleeves and the beautiful face and collarbone framing neckline. These eye catching features are balanced by the clean stockinette stitch, the neat fit and the wide ribbed trim of the body. This results in a modern, versatile, no-fuss piece which you will want to wear everywhere with everything.

Naiad is worked top down, starting with a cast on for the shoulder seams. The upper part of the front and back are worked flat with short rows to shape the shoulders. Once the upper front and back are finished, the front and back shoulders are joined by seaming. From the underarm down the front and back are joined to be worked in the round to the hem.
The stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole, and short rows are worked to shape the sleeve caps.The sleeves are worked in the round, and the sleeves are shaped by carefully placed increases and decreases. The sleeves are finished with a folded hem to complement the sleeve shaping.
The detailed neckline finishing includes a knitted on i-cord along the front split and a ribbed trim which is folded over and sewn to the inside of the sweater.
The pattern includes instructions for horizontal bust darts. The darts are optional; instructions for a sweater with and without darts are given.
