Worked from the top down, carefully placed increases create a subtle swirl on the upper yoke before transitioning into a band of texture on the lower yoke.

The unshaped sleeves are gently gathered at the top of the ribbed cuff.

The top-down construction allows for customizing the fit in both body length and sleeve length.

Fit tips are given at important points during construction to make sure your finished sweater fits just right.
