Knitting pattern for Silk Sweater

A light and feminine sweater designed with small, elegant stars formed by the increases along the yoke, creating asubtle graphic expression. Resulting in a light and comfortable sweater that suits the danish weather perfectly fromspring to autumn and in winter works beautifully under a cardigan or jacket. The stars add extra character to thedesign but can easily be omitted if a more neutral look is desired.

The sleeves are designed with a length for a summery feel, but the pattern also explains how you can easily work the sleeves in full length. The fit is slightly oversized with a gentle A-shape this can also be omitted if you prefer a straighter silhouette. The choice of colors and yarn gives the sweater many different expressions, allowing you to create your own unique version.
