Sweater EIGHT
Introducing our beautifully designed seamless sweater, expertly crafted from the top down utilizing contiguous shoulder construction for a flawless fit and comfort. This stylish sweater is initially worked flat before being joined at the front neckline, allowing you to finish knitting in the round down to the underarm. The design separates out the sleeves, providing a seamless transition as the body is completed in the round all the way to the hemline. The sleeves are knitted in the round, ensuring a smooth finish and perfect drape. To add the finishing touch, the neckband is worked last, while a subtle rib pattern completes the classic silhouette of this appealing garment. The reduced rib section features gracefully along both the front and back, elevating the overall design.
