Years Later Sweater is worked bottom up in the round to the underarm, then divided into front and back and shaped separately to the shoulders. The shoulders are joined using a 3-needle cast-off for stability and structure. Sleeves are picked up around the armholes and worked inside out in the round, creating a clean, seamless finish throughout. The hem features a subtle flare that adds a soft, feminine touch to the silhouette, making the sweater equally lovely worn loose or styled with a casual half-tuck.
