A simple combination of yarn-overs and decreases create a leaf-like effect which travel up this seamless sweater. Starting at the open boat neck, stitches are cast-on and worked downward so the sweater can be tried on as you knit for a perfect fit. Decreases are made at the sides and finished with a garter stitch hem to slim the waist.
