Product Information
The Cloud Sweater is worked from the top down. First the back yoke is worked back and forth while short rows hare worked to shape the shoulders. Then each shoulder is worked separately, back and forth and with short rows. The shoulders are then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. The sleeves are worked on the round. At the end, the stocking stitch is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck edge.
