Lovebirds Sweater
A little birdie told me…that you need him on a sweater with his true love! This array of geometric colorwork is worked seamlessly from the top down with yoked increases & short row shaping both at the shoulders and the bottom. The gentle A-line shape of the body combined with extra length at the hem complements curvy and straight body types alike.
Options are provided for two different body and sleeve styles: classic stockinette or a simple cable, along with short or long sleeve lengths.
Sizing is based on finished chest measurements. Pattern recommends one to four inches (2.5-10cm) of positive ease.
