Sweetheart Sweater and Sweetheart Cropped Sweater in Merino No. 5

The body of this sweater is knit flat in separate pieces. The front panel features simple shaping for the raglan armholes. The back panel features additional shaping to create a keyhole effect. Each sleeve is knit separately from the cuff up, first in the round and then flat. Stitches for the neckline are picked up from the body and worked in the round.
