“CLOUDDANCING Sweater”
Description
CLOUDDANCING Sweater
Light as a feather with a relaxed fit, cosy long sleeves and a generous round neck, CLOUDDANCING Sweater is knitted in one piece from the top down.
First CLOUDDANCING is knitted in rows back and forth to shape the neckline, then it is joined in the round and worked in rounds.
The back is worked a little longer than the front, small slits at the sides give a nice little detail.
Stockinette stitch and a simple 1x1 rib make this an easy and quick project.
The pattern has been thoroughly test knitted and technically edited to ensure a reliable and enjoyable knitting experience.
