The Waterfall Sweater

… with the pattern dropping down from the shoulders along the sleeves like sprinkling waterfalls - or a warm and relaxing shower on a cold morning …

It is built around a saddle shoulder with fitted sleeve caps – a construction that gives the whole sweater a different kind of posture. It sits on you, not around you.

Three shaping options, seamless top-down, a hi-lo hem, optional bust darts, and a flattering, slightly deeper neckline. Detailed instructions with tutorial links – because you deserve to enjoy the knitting, not just survive it.

• bust darts (optional).
