Dresden Sweater

This crochet pattern is in English. ABOUT THE PATTERN AND DESIGN Worked top-down and entirely without seaming, the Dresden Sweater is a textured sweater with careful shaping for a great fit. The back yoke features gradual increases to create a modified drop-shoulder silhouette, and the sleeves have gentle tapering to ensure an oversized yet comfortable fit around the wrists. The stitch pattern used creates an entirely opaque fabric. With a top-down and seamless construction, you can try on the sweater as you go and make any customization that you want with the help of tips included in the pattern.
