The Abound Sweater

All-over patterned sweater in a fun technique.
The sweater has saddle shoulders, a raised back neck and is knitted from the top down.
The sample is knitted with hand-dyed yarn together with thin mohair as the main colour, which helps make it unique and personal. The technique is also well suited to colour play and, if you like, a bit of leftover yarn.
