CLOUD DANCING Sweater

Feather-light with a relaxed fit, cozy long sleeves and a round neckline, the CLOUDDANCING Sweater is knitted seamlessly from top to bottom.
The first part of the shoulder yoke is worked back and forth in rows to shape the neckline. The work is then joined in the round, and the body and sleeves are knitted in rounds.
Stockinette stitch and a simple 1x1 rib pattern make this model an uncomplicated and quick project.
The instructions were carefully test-knitted and technically checked – for safe, reliable knitting.
