The simple design leaves room for the changes and effects this yarn combo creates: everything from zigzagging to gorgeous droplets of colour pooling together. The sweater features drop shoulders and tapered sleeves and a gorgeous deep V-neck.
Double Bubble Sweater is knitted from the top down in one piece, starting with the back and then picking up stitches for each shoulder. The lovely trapezoid look is created with easy decreases along the lower body and the sleeves.
