Modern Vintage
I am offering this pattern for free, and it is only available in size S/M for that reason. There are notes included in the pattern on how to adapt it to your size and gauge.
This is a slightly oversized cropped sweater. Ideally it should finish just at the level of the bones above your hips, just below the waist to create a modern fashionable look. Cables create a lovely slimming effect, so that your body looks great despite the comfy wideness of the sweater. This is further enhanced by a deep V-shaped neckline.
Techniques
I used a wide array of techniques to make this sweater:
• Cables are the accent of the model - there are 3 cables in front, creating a slimming effect, and only 2 on the back.
• Tubular/Italian cast on (you can use long tail instead, but tubular looks nicer on the ribbing, and will match the bind off for the neckline and sleeves).
• Short row shaping was used for shoulders, and for the neckline on the back. I made a video tutorial to explain it.
• Three-needle bind off for the shoulders.
• Picking up stitches for the neckline and sleeves. There is a video on that, too.
• Italian bind-off for ribbing on the neckline and sleeves.
