Grand Manon

The Adult version of the Manon Sweater is a stunning, versatile piece that features an elegant Feather and Fan lace panel at the front, complemented by a stylish wide boat neck. This beautiful knitting pattern is expertly designed to be worked in the round from the top down in one seamless piece, utilizing the innovative contiguous set-in sleeves method developed by [Susie Myers][1], ensuring a flawless fit without any seaming.

Starting right at the neckline, the sweater's shoulders are skillfully shaped with increases, allowing for a comfortable and flattering silhouette. The entire upper body is then crafted simultaneously, while the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, enabling you to focus on the body from the underarm down to the hem. This construction technique not only enhances the sweater's structure but also makes the knitting process enjoyable and efficient.

Once the body is complete, the sleeve stitches are picked up again, allowing you to work the sleeves in the round down to the cuffs, creating a cohesive and polished look. Perfect for intermediate knitters seeking a new challenge or seasoned crafters who appreciate intricate lacework, the Manon Sweater pattern combines elegance and wearability. Whether you’re looking to make a stylish layer for chilly evenings or a unique gift for a loved one, this pattern will surely inspire you to create a timeless piece. Get ready to elevate your wardrobe with this exquisite knitting project!
