Description
Lacy autumn leaves and a flowing shape make this a perfect early autumn knit!
This sweater is knit top-down with a colorwork yoke. After the colorwork section is completed, stitches are placed on hold for each slide and the body is completed first. Sleeve stitches are then returned to needles for sleeve completion.
