Lenu by Ankestrick – is a gorgeous sweater that is worked seamlessly from the top down, with some short row shaping and a beautiful front and back panel with fabulous texture.

This variation of a contiguous saddle shoulder (by Susie Myers) makes a sweater that fits really well.

The front panel of this sweater looks like it has complicated cables but fear not ! You only need to know how to decrease and yarn over.
