Bye Bye Birdie Sweater
Bye Bye Birdie Sweater
The Bye Bye Birdie is a very basic sweater in its shaping and construction, it is worked from the top down without seams.
The special touch of the design is provided by the braids that run along the body, this also makes a difference in terms of knitting experience and turns this basic into a very special design.
The sweater is designed to make a good fade shine, but it also looks fantastic in one semi-solid color.
The download includes 3 files: the pdf with the pattern; a row map to help you with colorwork and a pdf with the necessary charts to work on those color changes.
In the pattern you will find videos of all the techniques used.
