The Ball ornament is knit from the bottom up, starting with a small number of stitches. It is shaped using circular increases and decreases. An I-Cord loop is worked from two live stitches at the top of the Ball. Embroidered Snowflake motifs are added to the front and back of the Ball after completion.

The Chimney is worked seamlessly from the bottom up, starting with Judy’s Magic Cast-On. A simple slip stitch mosaic pattern forms the brick motif. The top of the ornament is grafted together leaving two stitches from which to work an I-Cord to form a loop for hanging.

The Tree ornament uses the Intarsia method for colorwork. The intarsia pattern is charted only. When switching to a new color in the same row, bring the new color up and around the previous color to prevent holes from forming in the work. Join color A as indicated in the chart. After the front and back of the Tree ornament are worked individually, the bottom and sides of the ornament are seamed, leaving two sets of live stitches on top of the piece. After stuffing the piece, these stitches are grafted together, leaving two stitches from which to work an I-Cord to form a loop for hanging. The stars are embroidered on the tip of the Tree after completion.

An illustrative schematic and stitch instructions are provided for the embroidery on the Ball and Tree ornaments.

**PATTERN NOTES**
This sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down with yarns A and B held together as one strand throughout. The yoke is knit flat with the opening in the back, utilizing circular increases for shaping. After sleeve stitches have been separated, the body is joined to work in the round in stockinette stitch to the hem. The sleeves are worked in the round. Stitches are picked up along the back opening and bound off using the I-Cord method to prevent curling and add a polished touch. Stitches are then picked up along the top edge of the neck opening to work I-Cord ties.
 
The Slip Stitch Rib Pattern worked flat is used for your gauge swatch and is not specifically referenced in the pattern instructions. It is found in the Stitch Guide.

I have been playing with the idea of an easy breezy skirt and top set for a while now and as soon as I got my hands on Rico Designs Creative Summer Sprinkles, I knew this was it! I started swatching with the yarn and the design elements just fell into place – thoughtful smocking to create shaping, a simple flower motif and the Sundown Set was born.

I designed the skirt to curl at the hem but there is also an option to knit a garter border if curling is not your jam.

Personally, I think starting with the skirt is the way to go. After the smocking on the top, the stockinette in the round flies and is great for social knitting. Once that’s all done, the top goes super fast and you’ll have your matching set ready in no time.
