Arwen

For pattern support please go to the questions thread [here][1]. **update 10/05: Japanese translation added** *Arwen* is a round-yoked sweater that is worked seamlessly from the top down. After finishing the neck ribbing some short-rows are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck and then the round-yoke is worked top down with a cute ‘bobbly’ lace pattern band to sleeve separation. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold to work the body top down to the long 2x2 Rib with a light A-line shaping. Sleeve stitches are then picked up again to work the sleeves top down in rounds to the 2x2 Rib cuffs. **please note: Yoke pattern is charted only** Yarn Manos del Uruguay Fino (490 yards (450 m)/100g) shown in #SF421 Havisham.
