Light Ease

As the setting sun streams golden rays over the ridge, silhouettes grow tall in the crisp late autumn evening. Most of the leaves have fallen, revealing exposed lichen that clings to the granite rocks amidst a field of pale, uncut hay. Even this late in the day, November warmth radiates, while geese fly in graceful, wavering V formations, heading south for the winter. This picturesque scene is the perfect backdrop for knitting your next favorite project: a stylish and cozy sweater.

This beautiful sweater pattern is worked from the top down, beginning flat before seamlessly joining in the round once the neck shaping is complete. This method ensures a comfortable fit and a polished finish. The sleeve stitches are placed on holders while you work the body, allowing for easy adjustments and a streamlined knitting experience. After the body is completed, you will move on to knit the sleeves and neckline, both of which are finished with a neat bind-off.

The design of this sweater allows for 1-3 inches of positive ease, ensuring a relaxed and comfortable fit that is perfect for layering during the chilly autumn and winter months. You'll love how versatile this sweater is, making it suitable for casual outings or cozy evenings by the fire. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern offers clear instructions and an enjoyable knitting experience. Don’t miss out on adding this fashionable and functional piece to your wardrobe!
