SYN is a cute pullover that looks different depending on where you look at it, from the front, side, or back. The fluttering mohair, fluttering like a cape or feathers, will lift your spirits. The open sides make it fun to wear in layers.
The knitting method is the basic way to knit a top-down sweater, but it has many features, such as patterned knitting on the front, knitting with five strands of mohair on the back, and long, quick-drying ribbing on the sleeves, so you can stay excited while knitting until the very end.
Start knitting from the neckline with MC. Separate the sleeve stitches and knit the front and back body in a circle, then separate the front and back body. Knit the front body with MC while knitting the pattern to the hem. For the back body, use 5 CC stitches, increase stitches, and increase the needle size to knit to create a frill. Finally, pick up stitches from the body and knit both sleeves towards the cuffs.
