Like a pearl necklace that goes with just about everything, this sweater will become a wardrobe staple. It easily goes from casual to semi-formal with ease with a little hint of sparkle from the Twinkle DK. Knit from the top down with a rounded yoke, this seamless sweater has ¾ length sleeves with bobbles and a tiny bit of intarsia. It is the perfect blend of mindless knitting with a few advanced techniques and, in true Mother of Purl fashion, this pattern is easily adjustable to fit any size.
