Worthy of Note
Knit using Kelbourne Woolens stunning 100% cotton yarn, Skipper, Ketch is a quintessentially Kate design: it has clean lines, graphic patterning, and simple shapes with small details such as short row shaping, sloped bind offs, and seams finished with mattress stitch.

Ketch is worked back and forth from the bottom up in separate pieces and seamed. After the shoulders and sides are seamed, stitches are picked up to work the armhole bands and neckband.

When working form the chart, you will begin and end as indicated for your size, working the required number of stitches to the pattern repeat, the 14-stitch repeat until the required number of stitches remain, and then the pattern to the end of the row.

The sweater shown measures 44.5” on a 37” bust.
