CLAIRLEA is a cozy wrap sweater, worked seamlessly from the top down, with an all-over twisted stitch pattern and drop sleeves. The back shoulders and upper back are worked first, then the front shoulders are picked up and worked down to the underarm. The front and back are joined at the underarm to work the lower body. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round to the wrist. I-cord is worked around the edges, and used for the wrap ties.
