Yoga upside down sweater
This fun sweater is designed, so it can be turned any way you like. The front can be the backside, and the bottom can be the top.
The sweater consist of 5 sections, starting by knitting a domino square in the middle. Hereafter you pick up stitches to knit to either side - ending with the sleeves. And hereafter you pick up again for the yoke and for the bottom.
To make this construction fit the body, it is required, that you have a measurement smaller in your waist than across your shoulders, unless you prefer off shoulders sweaters. If you don’t have the required measurement, you can still knit it, but you will have to sew the shoulders together, and then you won’t be able to turn it upside down.
I have designed the sweater, so it can be knitted in any desired yarn weight and needle size. You will be able to have fun with any kind of yarn and colors you like.
The pink and blue sample uses the needle size US 4 - 3,5 mm and 24,5 sts on 4’. And I used approximately 1600 yards of yarn. Find more details under projects.
Also you can find more information about the chunky version under projects.
NOTICE: I won’t give you any concrete number of sts to cast on or sizes to choose from, BUT don’t worry! I will thoroughly guide you through, and make it easy for you to calculate what you need. You just have to prepare yourself to make some decisions, and try on the sweater along the way. I promise you, that it is a fun project, and also very different from what you may have tried before.
