Errata: When the color change happens on the yoke the inches knit is incorrect. “Continue working flat in pattern established, using LTC3 until piece measures 11 (12, 13.5, 14.5) 16, 17, 18” from removable marker. Using Color 2 and DC3, work flat in pattern established for 1”.”

Texture and visual interest in knitting can be created by changing various elements or in this case directions. For this seamless sweater, I used wrist to wrist knitting to create horizontal cables that change pattern at an off center point on the chest and back. Then I knit the body in the round and added garter stitch accents to keep it interesting. To echo the body a funnel neck collar is knit in garter stitch. Finally, to make this piece infinitely customizable and fun to style, I used 3 different colors. The color blocking and shape give this sweater a mod look that easily fits into a wardrobe today.

What I loved most about knitting this piece is that the sleeves and chest/back are knit using fewer stitches than other sweater shapes, meaning the sweater can be ‘knit on the go’ for a longer period of time. The casual, easy to wear vibe comes from wearing the piece with 3”+ of ease as shown on the model. Or wear it with no ease for a tailored fit.

Finished Size 32 (36, 40, 44) 48, 52, 56“ bust/chest circumference. Sweater shown in 40” with 3” of positive ease.
