Amber Magic

The Amber Magic off-the-shoulder sweater is from my book, Modern Crochet Sweaters: 20 Chic Designs for Everyday Wear.

A lightweight, more poised version of the Sugarplum Off-the-Shoulder Yoke (found here), Amber Magic is crocheted with an identical construction using a luxurious fingering weight yarn. Demonstrating how yarn choice can totally transform a design, I wanted to include both a bulky weight and fingering weight version of this sweater in the book, each one producing a completely unique fabric to mix with different outfits, suitable for different occasions. This delicate, airy version offers an entirely different drape and sophistication despite sharing an identical construction.

Equally playful and poised, this off-the-shoulder piece was designed with a stretch-less neckline so you can wear it with confidence knowing it won’t slip off your shoulders. Keep it centered to expose both shoulders or shift it off one shoulder to flaunt a tasteful, slouchy look.
