Shelby Sweater
Shelby Sweater is an elegant and cozy sweater with a flattering neckline and an open back with a bow for added interest. The sweater is worked top down with raglan increases and the sleeves are worked without decreases until the cuff, which gives them a slight balloon shape. The neckband is knit separately and either knit on as you go or seamed at the end.
The sweater is worked with one strand of merino and cashmere yarn in fingering weight and one strand of mohair and silk in lace weight at a worsted weight gauge. This gives the finished garment a beautiful drape and a luxurious feel.
