Pattern by Gina Mastrianni. This pattern is intended for private use only and is not permitted to be reshared or to sell garments using this pattern. Thank you for supporting small business and slow fashion initiatives! Please tag me on IG @gina.making.art and use the #widmersweater hashtag so that I can see your work!

Disclaimer: This sweater has only been tested in Sizes 1 , 2, 3, 5. If I receive any requests to test knit other sizes, I will edit the pattern for those sizes (if needed) and send out the update!

SWEATER CONSTRUCTION
The sweater is worked bottom-up. The front and back of the sweater are identical in measurements and can therefore be worn either way. The sweater is graded in cm and then converted to inches. Measurements are round to the nearest .25 cm/”. Check the diagram under photos to see how Color 1 and Color 2 are divided up. Testers deviated from this on their own.

Other techniques that you may want to be familiar with: backwards loop cast on, LTCO, i-cord tubes, applied i-cords, seaming together the ends of an i-cord tube with a tapestry needle, picking up sts evenly along an edge, picking up an increased number of sts from an edge, mattress seam stitch

Other style info:

This is a cropped sweater. Some testers added length to sleeves and body if needed. Check the intended measurements as a guide. If you decide to add length, make sure to have more yarn available. This sweater has a slightly tapered waistline and boatneck collar.
