Syren Sweater

The Syren sweater features a leaf-like stitch pattern worked from the bottom up in joined rounds, extending up to the bust line. Subsequently, both sleeves are crafted in a bottom-up fashion, also reaching the bust line. Finally, all three components are seamlessly joined, and the lace yoke undergoes a gradual decrease. To enhance the back, short rows are incorporated, culminating in a polished finish with slip stitch ribbing.
