Ascend
Ascend
Ascend is a short sleeve (elbow length) worsted weight sweater using bottom up, drop shoulder construction. The sweater is worked in the round up to the armholes and then split for front and back where it is then worked flat until joined at the shoulders using the modified 3-needle bind off method. Ascend is finished with a folded mock neck collar.
Ascend features a fun chevron textured hem and “stripes” of broken seed stitch, for a relaxing, yet textural knit. Select two contrasting colors - for a high impact look - or two complimentary colors - for a more subtle tone on tone look… or maybe one of each!?
