Glimmer is a light and elegant sweater designed to bring a touch of sparkle to everyday moments and festive occasions alike. Knitted with one strand of sequin yarn held together with a soft mohair, the fabric creates a delicate shimmer beneath a dreamy halo, catching the light beautifully with every movement.
The sweater features a relaxed silhouette with some positive ease, softly draping over the body for an effortlessly elegant look. Slightly elongated sleeves add to the fluid, feminine feel, making Glimmer Sweater as comfortable as it is sophisticated.
**Construction**
The sweater is worked top down, beginning at the neckline with an I-cord cast-on. The neckline is shaped using German short rows while shoulder increases are worked. Once the shoulders are established, increases are worked for the sleeves only. The yoke is then shaped with increases for both the body and sleeves. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the body is worked in the round and finished with an I-cord bind-off for a clean, polished look. The sleeves are then worked in the round and are also finished with I-cord bind-offs.
