As whispering winds blow a cool breeze across your shoulders, reach for your Summer Hideaway Sweater. Elegant details grace this seamless bottom-up design with top-down sleeves. A curved or straight hem turns the design from boater chic to city classic. The easy pattern repeat creates both texture and airiness, ideal for a summer weight sweater. Large needles make it a quick knit!

Special Notes:
• Construct It, Sweater: Summer Hideaway Sweater is worked bottom up in the round, seamlessly. Finishing work is designed to be kept to a minimum with fun knitting techniques. The armhole shaping is worked flat with a contiguous seamless edge. The trim along the neck is picked up after the shoulders are bound off. Sleeves are picked up from the armhole edging and worked top down.
• Swoop It: Summer Hideaway features a swooping hemline. This is optional. If you skip the Short Rows section in hem, the design will be straight across the bottom as seen in the tank sample.
• Swatch It: work a generously sized swatch, wash, and block. The overall weight of the sweater affects the final blocked gauge. For reference, designer’s unblocked gauge was 23 sts and 25 rnds over 4”/ 10cm in pattern stitch using larger needles.
