Description
Wardwell is a lightweight sweater perfect for springtime, summer nights, or enjoyed indoors during the colder months. This sweater is light in feel over the body as it is worked in a sport weight yarn at a loose gauge. The eyelet details in the center front, back, and sleeves give extra breathing room for your skin. Wardwell sweater has less ease in bust and arms and is closer to the neck to balance the skin showing in the eyelets. There is generous ease in the armhole depth to allow for functional movement of arms during daily activities.
Wardwell sweater is worked top down in the round. Short rows are added to better shape the back of the neck. The eyelet detail begins in the back and sleeves during the short row shaping. Simple raglan shaping with continued eyelet detail creates the yoke and sleeves. Slim fitting arms are created to keep this sweater functional and ready for any activity. The sleeve lengths are measured at a bracelet length for warmer day wearing.
