Construction Details
The "Long Walks in the Grass" sweater is crafted using a top-down, seamless construction method. It begins by being knit flat before transitioning to joined stitches in the round. The sleeves are picked up from live stitches and worked down to the cuff, ensuring a smooth and polished look. After completing the body, stitches for the neckband are picked up and knitted to complete the design. Optional waist shaping instructions allow for customization based on your preferences. This sweater is modelled with 0 ease and is designed to accommodate 0 to +2 inches of ease for a versatile fit.
