The Warbler Sweater is a seamless, top-down slit-neck sweater that is comfortably oversized for all your plans for tomfoolery. With a two-row twisted stockinette texture, this pattern allows the yarn to shine while creating some durable visual interest for a piece that hugs you as a friend. Worked top-down, the upper back is worked, then the front panels are worked, then joined to finish the front. Then, the front is worked to the armhole, and everything is joined to finish the body in a half-twisted, two-by-two ribbing. The neckline is finished with a neat i-cord, and the sleeves are picked up and worked down. This pattern includes short-rows to create a comfy, yet gently shaped construction that is easy to wear, style, and explore in.
