Here’s a sweater with a stitch pattern that takes the simple garter stitch adds a slip stitch and turns it into a new eye-catching texture.
Designer Knitting Pattern
The appealing stitch pattern is used with a pairing that combines a solid and a compatible hand dyed tonal version of the same yarn. As a top-down design incorporating the invisible raglan increase, there are no seems to be sewn. Stitches for the body and sleeves are separated then worked in the round to the waist and wrists. Finally, the neck band stitches are picked up along the cast on edge and worked in rib. The result is a nicely tailored sweater that is a delight to knit and that feels just right.
This pattern includes instructions for all sizes, a list of all abbreviations, glossary of terms, and a crisp schematic with dimensions for proper blocking. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on my web site.
