Finally finished! I've been working on this pattern on and off for what's seemed like forever. Ever since I saw Black Swan in theaters I've been dreaming of a pretty, soft, ballet wrap sweater. This is what I came up with.
It's knit out of recycled yarn. I can't remember the content anymore, but it's machine washable with some wool and angora content.
I love sweaters with a bit of a scoop back.
I wasn't sure if I should add ribbing or not but I'm glad I did. :)
en pointe is knit sideways from ribbon tie to ribbon tie. The sleeves and ribbing are knit separately. There's no seeming! Off to the test knitters for this one. :)
