Rendezvous Sweater is knitted from the top down, starting with a neckband in 1×1 rib followed by the yoke, which is knitted following a chart. Afterwards, the sleeve stitches are placed to rest while the body is knitted in stockinette stitch. You can try on the sweater before the bottom ribbing is knitted, so that you can knit the sweater to exactly the length you want. The sleeves are then knitted one at a time, and all the cast-offs are done in pattern.
Finally, all the loose ends are woven in, and the sweater is washed and blocked for a beautiful, soft result. See our tips at @plystreknitwear on Instagram for suggestions for embroidering your sweater, for an extra-decorated sweater!
