This pattern is 20% discount until November 27th.

The Nia sweater is knitted by starting at the back from the top down to the base of the armholes. Then, both fronts are picked up and knitted separately, working from the top down to the edge of front neck. After joining both pieces, the front is worked to the base of the armhole, and then the front and back are joined and knitted in the round down to the hem. Pick up and knit for the neckband and sleeves.
