This pattern is suitable for knitting machines with gauge 9 mm. The sweater made on knitting machine Brother KH-260 single bed.
This is one of the simplest and fastest sweater patterns. The front and back are knitted in one piece using partial knitting. Thanks to the partial knitting there is no need to bind-off the shoulder loops and then sew them together.
Also, for this pattern, I use 2 strands together to create a striped melange color, so each sweater is unique. You can use your own color scheme.
The description can be adapted to your length and width easily. Based on it, you can knit, for example, a dress or tunic with long sleeves or a cropped sleeveless slipover.
Insure that the yarn is free to move through the machine, as the knitting carriage requires. Knit slowly, evenly and carefully. Your sweater will only be the correct size if you obtain the same tension as given in the pattern.
