Topdown feather
THE TOPDOWN FEATHER SWEATER will caress you. And the key word is ‘drape’. The most essential thing is to use a very light weighted yarn which will create a featherlike fabric.
In the beginning the sweater is worked flat and top down. After the V-neck is shaped the front and back of the upper body are joined and worked in the round. Extra stitches at the end of the body and sleeves are picked up to knit the edge sideways and to complete the whole piece.
Bust circumference:
32.75 (37-39.5-42.5-45.5) (49-52-55.5-58)“
83 (94.5-100-108-116) 125-132-141-147cm.
Sweater shown in size 6 with a positive ease of 10” (25 cm).
