Filled with unique and unexpected design elements, this classy sweater will take you right from the office to a night on the town. The intentionally asymmetrical leaf-shaped cables call to mind both the beauty and imperfection of nature and will be sure to turn every head as you walk by.

You can easily adapt the body of the sweater to be longer by knitting more rows of stockinette on your front and back pieces before beginning the neck and armpit decreases. Pattern includes instruction for where to add more rows if you wish to.
Note: If you do add more rows for length, you will require more yarn.
