Lenu Sweater Knit Pattern
Lenu Sweater Knit Pattern
Lenu is worked seamlessly from the top down.
The neck is shaped with short rows and then you work in the round and increase for the shoulders and then for the body and sleeves down to sleeve separation.
The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold, underarm sts are cast on, and you continue to work the body to the ribbing.
After the body is completed, the sleeve sts are picked up again to work the sleeves top down in the round. The neck finishing is worked last.

I knitted this in Wild Earth Yarns, the Eden range. Although I have knitted for many years this was a learning curve but YouTube was great. Loved knitting from the top down. This pattern is a perfect fit.
Have not started the pattern as it’s has taken a wee while to source the wool but am really looking forward to this project. It will test my skills as have never knitted a seamless jumper on circular needles before!
