This gorgeous sweater is knit with Pascuali Balayage and Pascuali Manada held together. If you think these yarns are great individually, you’ll discover they are fantastic when combined. The chains of contrast “stars” adorning the yoke and hem are knit use Manada alone and add the perfect hint of magic.
Nightswimming is worked in the round from the top down seamlessly in one piece. After the ribbing, short rows are worked to raise the neck. Then, the yoke is shaped with increases and a cross stitch pattern and next, the sleeves are separated. Then, the sleeves are put to rest and the body is worked first, with some short rows for a longer back and a cross stitch accent. Lastly, the sleeves are picked up and worked to the cuffs.
