Meet the Exhale Sweater. Simple yet striking colorwork is the highlight of this simple to knit sweater. The Exhale sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down with colorwork incorporated throughout the yoke, body, and sleeves. Increases are worked throughout the colorwork section to shape the yoke, as well as within the body, creating a slight A-line shape. There are options for bell sleeves or straight sleeves with cuffs, both of which include colorwork detail.To finish off this sweater, a single crochet edging is added to the body and neckline to create a decorative trim.
