The Citrus Summer Sweater is a perfect, lightweight cover-up designed in Moonglow Yarn Co’s beautiful Lemonade Fade. This design is inspired by all the wonderful aspects of summer—such as refreshing cocktails, strawberry lemonade, sunsets, citrus fruits, beach vacations, poolside days, sunny weather, and warm breezes. It has a fluttery and airy feel, featuring a lace pattern that I’ve named Summer Citrus because it reminds me of lemon slices.
The sweater is knit flat in two pieces, worked from the bottom up, and then seamed together. Follow the photo tutorial with guided captions to seam the Citrus Summer Sweater.
For low vision written directions, see below:
1.) Place both panels right side up on a large, flat surface. The tops of the panels should be facing each other.
2.) Measure the length of your shoulder seam from the outside in (refer to the directions and schematic on page 4 of the pattern). Mark this area with a removable place marker.
3.) Repeat this measurement on both sides.
4.) Start seaming from the outside to the marker using a Horizontal Invisible Seam Stitch. Repeat this process on the other side. Secure and weave in the ends.
5.) Flip the garment over so that the wrong side is facing up.
6.) Repeat this measurement on both sides.
7.) Fold the bottom edges toward the center in preparation for seaming. Measure the length of the sleeve seam from the outside in (refer to the directions and schematic on page 4 of the pattern). Mark this area with a removable place marker.
8.) Repeat this measurement on both sides.
9.) Start seaming from the outside to the marker using a Horizontal Invisible Seam Stitch. Repeat this process on the other side. Secure and weave in the ends.
