THIS IS AN INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED KNITWEAR DESIGN AND IT MAY BE NOT BEGINNER FRIENDLY

Sweetheart was my first sweater design, I made it back in 2019 with the idea of having cute winter clothes. The goal was to knit a sweater that resembled a corset design.

Sweetheart is worked flat from the bottom up starting with tubular 1x1 ribbing. The corset motif is made by combining stockinette stitch, seed stitch and cables. The sweetheart mock neckline is made by german short rows and I-cord bind off, while the rest of the garment is made by lace stitch.
The sleeves are worked flat from the bottom up combining all of the last stitches mentioned. Each part of the sweater (front, back and sleeves) is blocked flat to measurements and then sewn together, the shoulders are sewn with kitchener stitch while the sides and sleeves are sewn using mattress stitch.

Sizing: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) // XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL) designed to be worn with 10-15cm / 4-6” positive ease.

ESTE ES UN PATRÓN DE TEJIDO INTERMEDIO/AVANZADO Y PUEDE NO SER RECOMENDABLE PARA PRINCIPIANTES

Este diseño surge el 2019 debido a mi necesidad de tener prendas de invierno que reflejaran mi estilo, mi idea era dibujar un corset en un sweater. Este diseño es el primero que realicé y la razón por la cual me involucré en la comunidad tejeril.

Sweetheart se teje en forma plana desde abajo hacia arriba. Comienza con urdido tubular y punto elástico 1x1. El diseño de corset se dibuja con punto jerse, punto arroz y trenzas.
Las copas se tejen con vueltas cortas y cierre I-cord. El resto del sweater se teje en punto enccaje.
Las mangas se tejen desde abajo hacia arriba combinando todos los puntos anteriores. Cada parte se bloquea por separado, los hombros se unen con costura kitchener y laterales y mangas se unen con costura invisible.

Tallas: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) // XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL) diseñado para ser usado con 10-15cm de holgura positiva.
