Summer sweater featuring a nice eyelet detail.

Ingrid sweater is worked from the top down. The back is knit first. Then, the front shoulders are picked up from the shoulder edge and worked top-down as you shape the neck. Finally, the front and back are joined together at the underarm and the body is knit seamlessly in the round to the hem. It has some decreases for a balloon effect. The sleeves also feature a balloon effect, achieved by working a set of invisible decreases.
