Ascend is a short sleeved (elbow length) worsted weight sweater using a bottom up, drop shoulder construction. The sweater is worked in the round up to the armholes and then split for front and back where it is then worked flat until joined at the shoulders using a modified 3-needle bind-off. A folded mock neck collar completes the design. The sweater is shown in two versions: in a high and low contrast colour combination.
