Like the timeless legacy of ancient trees, Synthe sports concentric bands of raised texture in an heirloom design. Crafted for effortless wear, this top-down, seamless pullover is full of thoughtful details that enhance the fit, flow and enduring quality of this garment. Short-row shaping lifts the back for a comfortable neckline while slight A-line shaping is underscored by accents of corrugated purl rows against flat stockinette. Made for modification, Synthe offers two sleeve length options and customizable body length for easy tailoring toward your favorite fit. Reconnect with growth with this approachable, engaging sweater.

Construction

• The Synthe sweater is worked circularly from the top down. The yoke is worked first, then the sleeves are separated and put on hold. The body is worked to the hem and then the sleeves are picked up and worked to the cuff.
• There are two options for sleeve length: short sleeve or three-quarter sleeve.
• All lengths in this sweater can be easily customized. Yarn quantities are based on schematic measurements, so additional yarn will be needed if lengthening the sweater.
