Saturday Night Sweater - Paper

Saturday Night Sweater is knitted top down with a round yoke. Short rows/reversible rows are worked to create the neckline. The rib edge of the neck is finally worked from the open stitches in the cast-on edge.

The sleeves on the Saturday Night Sweater end with a tight rib that sits at elbow height – this gives the sleeve a slight puff above the rib edge.

Saturday Night Sweater is knitted with four strands of silk mohair – it is easiest to knit with each end of two skeins of yarn.
