Knitting Pattern | Top-Down Sweater MOONWALK | seamless | 5 sizes

Is it possible to make an even more relaxed and comfortable garment than Boxy? Meet MOONWALK!
A boxy sweater is such a wardrobe staple, you can’t ever have enough. They suit all body shapes and can be dressed up or down.

MOONWALK is a modern garment, with a very wide body and skinny sleeves. It is very flattering, drapey and stylish, and a perfect layering piece.

The eye-catching texture reminds me of a moonlike surface. Short rows are worked to create a shorter front. This seamless top-down sweater is a quick project for adventurous and advanced knitters.
