The Phoenix Sweater is worked seamless top down, with a traditional round yoke on upper part and with slightly longer as usually sleeves. Because the luxury yarn, the proportions and other details sweater has a glamouros, fashionable and rich look.
The laced yoke is based on a simple chevron pattern that I modified to be able to knit in the round with integrated increasing. Lace and ending of each repeat remind on the bird feathers.
