Luwan

Textured stitches and a wonderful wool/silk singles yarn create a wonderful winter sweater! Worked from the top down this sweater combines garter stitch and a textured dot stitch to lovely effect. Short rows at the back of the sweater create both a wonderful pattern and flattering shape. Sleeves are worked from the top down also with short rows.
