Dressing up for ME
Glitter and glam is never wrong! The yarn combination makes the sweater soft, a little fluffy and with a glittery finish. The sweater is knitted top down, with raglan increases on the body that give a nice shape for the sleeves. You knit the puff from the very start, with increases in every stitch for a few rows. The sleeves end in ruffles, and the body has a long, beautiful ribbing finished with an Italian bind-off. Finally stitches are picked up for the neck and it is knitted.
I recommend knitting a gauge swatch to make sure your gauge is right.
