Create a unique sweater that adapts to all seasons and complements your wardrobe with a versatile and timeless piece
available in two versions: a refreshing summer linen version and a cozy winter mohair version. This design features a
functional fit with an elegant V-neckline and side slits for enhanced freedom of movement.
Summer Version: Designed in linen, this version is lightweight and breathable—perfect for warm days. The natural linen
fabric provides a fresh feel while remaining elegant and timeless. The side slits add ease and style.
Winter Version: Knitted in soft mohair, this version is perfect for keeping warm during colder months. Mohair adds a cozy,
luxurious texture while maintaining a light and airy fit. The details, such as the V-neckline and side slits, remain for comfort

SIZE GUIDE
The Sundown Sweater is designed to have approximately 20 to 25 cm 8 to 10 inches of positive ease, meaning it will be
20 to 25 cm 8 to 10 inches larger than your bust circumference. If you have a larger bust, I recommend using your high
bust measurement as a reference.
The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed for a bust circumference of: 74-80 (82-87) 91-96 (98-101) 102-

a finished bust circumference of: 103 (108.5) 122 (131) 141 (146.5) 160 (171) 177 cm 41 (43-1/2) 48-3/4 (52-1/2) 56-1/4
(58-1/2) 64 (68-1/2) 70-3/4 inches
If you are between two sizes, I recommend choosing a larger size.

86 cm 34 inches, with a positive ease of 22 cm 9-1/2 inches.
EXPLANATION OF THE SWEATER CONSTRUCTION
The first step is to construct the back and shoulders of the sweater using raglan-style increases. We begin by casting on
stitches for the upper back and knitting the back flat, incorporating increases to shape the shoulders and neckline. Stitches
are then added to form the front, and the body is worked in the round, finishing with 2x2 ribbing worked flat for the winter
version or stockinette stitch worked flat for the summer version.
The neckline stitches are picked up and worked in double stockinette stitch. Sleeve stitches are picked up along the armholes
and knit in the round, ending with 2x2 ribbing for the winter version. For the summer version, short sleeves are suggested
with an I-cord edge finish.
technique used: Double knitting, ribbing, increase, decrease.
Difficulty level: Advanced beginner
