The Antipodes sweater is this year's Rhinebeck Sweater from Andrea Mowry. It is worked from the top down, seamlessly. It begins with a saddle shoulder, then pick up stitches for the back and fronts separately. Once the yoke is completed, we will join to work the body in the round. The sleeve stitches are picked up from the armhole openings and worked in the round.
It is knit using US #2 & #4 needles. Our Studio Sample was knit using our Studio Sport for the Main Color and one of our Mini Skein Sets (fingering yarn carried double) for the Contrasting Color. You may also wish to view our 2+7=Beautiful kits to decide which MC and CC combination you wish to use.
