Smocking! It is gorgeous and very intriguing. I really enjoyed creating the smocked pattern for this design! It is always fun learning something new. I hope you enjoy knitting it! The technique is much easier than the complex pattern makes it appear. I made the sample with Fyberspates Vivacious DK, a lovely yarn with the stitch definition that is perfect for this project.

Notes: This sweater has a circular yoke and is constructed from the top down in one piece. Short-row back neck shaping and raglan shaping are worked after the yoke pattern is complete. The pullover is modeled with slight negative ease, but if you desire a looser fit, make a size that measures slightly larger than your bust. There is no body shaping past the armholes but waist shaping may be easily added. The sleeves and body can easily be lengthened by adding more rounds.
