Lenu Sweater

Lenu is a beautiful sweater with optional cowl/hood. It is worked seamlessly from the top down. The neck is shaped with short rows and then you work in the round and increase for the shoulders and then for the body and sleeves down to sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold, underarm sts are cast on, and you continue to work the body to the ribbing. After the body is completed, the sleeve sts are picked up again to work the sleeves top down in the round. The neck finishing is worked last.

Pattern available for purchase on Ravelry.  Students should have knit and blocked their gauge swatch prior to class to be ready for the first day!
