My design Obliquo, is a cardigan version of Curvo. The patterns are similiar but with a few key differences.
When you buy both patterns together, you will get one of them for half price for a total cost of $10.50 USD (a savings of $3.50). Just simply add them both to your cart, and the discount will be automatically applied at checkout.

Knit from side to side, Curvo is a cosy, pullover with dramatically shaped shirt-tail hems, and ribbed edgings. No short-rows are used, as the curved hems and shoulder shaping are created using only increases and decreases, making it quite simple to knit.

Notes
This sweater is knit sideways, starting from the left side. The body is knit in 2 flat pieces, then after seaming the shoulders the sleeves are picked up from the side edges and knit downwards towards the wrist. Circular needles are used to accommodate large number of stitches.
Measure your gauge swatch carefully. The stitch gauge affects the length of your finished sweater, while the row gauge affects the finished width. Row gauge is important in this project! A difference in row gauge may affect the amount of yarn needed.
