Mooring

Mooring is a modern, stylish sweater featuring twisted stitches that create little triangle motifs, combined with cables, which are on the front and back of the body.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES:
The body pieces are worked flat from the bottom up and seamed at the shoulders and sides. Stitches are picked up around the armhole and set in sleeves are worked to create a fitted sleeve cap from the top- down using a clever method of short rows shaping. Finally, stitches are picked up around the top of the sweater for the folded ribbed crew neckline and then seamed to the inside.
