Acorns and Antlers

Acorns and Antlers is a sweet sweater that is worked top-down seamlessly. The sweater has a round yoke with an autumnal colorwork with leaves, acorns, and berries. But the showstopper are the antlers featured center front. The sweater starts off with a tall turtleneck, followed by short rows to shape the back of the neck taller. The design features long bishop sleeves. The hem is cropped and there are instructions for an optional bust dart. **Size** XXS-XS-S-M1 (M2-L1-L2-XL) 2XL-3XL-4XL-5XL This sweater is meant to be worn with positive ease.
