Saddle-shoulder sweater

December 2006

I (mostly) followed the numbers in Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitting Without Tears for the seamless saddle-shoulder sweater -- I did knit the sleeves flat to avoid using DPNs. Yarn is Patons Classic Wool: 5 balls in "deep olive" for the main colour and 1 ball of a nameless blue for the constrast hems inside. I used 4.0mm circular needles. I'm very pleased with the fit, and I think the saddle shoulders are flattering.
