Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Pattern
This design was inspired by athletic sportswear. Choose superfine merino wool or a blend of cotton/bamboo/silk/elastic nylon to make it very wearable with a shirt, t-shirt, or, what the heck, no shirt at all. The sleeves and body are worked separately in stockinette from the top down, then sewn together to create a classic crewneck.

This pattern includes a list of all abbreviations and a glossary of terms. It is accompanied by our proprietary StitchSaver™ Row Checker. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on our web site.

Our favorite sporty sweater has been re-imagined in delicious Basis fingering weight. The pairing of two variegated yarns that were meant to be united almost guarantees compliments when you finish this project.

This fingering weight yarn is a very light and very special blend. It is mostly cool, soft cotton, that has been enhanced with a bit of wool to give it resilience. Plus, cashmere to add a luxurious glow. It provides clear stitch definition and has a delightful hand when knitting, because while being cotton based it knits like wool. And last but not least the color variegations include some subtle touches to elevate the sophistication of your finished work.

The sleeves and body are knitted separately in stockinette, then sewn together to create a classic crewneck. Both the upper body and sleeves are worked flat from the top down to the bottom of the armhole. Then the lower body and sleeves are worked in the round from the armhole to the cuff and hem. Tackle this modern version of a classic sporty sweater and you’re sure to have a homerun.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Knit from the top down in one piece, there are no seams to be sewn. The neck band is knit first, then the upper yoke worked in short rows of twisted stockinette as you shape the neck and begin increasing for the raglan seams. After adding the signature triangle at the center front neck, you’re ready to proceed with the lower yoke in stockinette.

The body and sleeves are separated and the balance of the sweater continues in stockinette. The length can be tailored simply by removing the work from your needles and trying it on to guarantee it is exactly the length you desire.

Here is a contemporary take on the classic raglan sweater. Bands of slip-stitch rib create the raglan detail and provide an elegantly subtle fashion statement.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Designer Knitting Pattern
This top down design has no seams to be sewn. It combines traditional stockinette with a fresh approach to shaping the yoke. The neck is shaped and the yoke is worked while raglan pattern bands are created between the front, back and sleeves. At the underarm, the body and sleeve stitches are separated, then each section is worked in the round and finished with a ribbed hem and cuffs. Stitches are picked up along the cast on edge and a ribbed neckband completes the sweater. The result is a timeless creation in a luxurious, natural blend of fibers.

How about a contemporary take on the cable sweater? This casually elegant piece in a cashmere, merino and silk blend yarn incorporates single cables down the center of the chest, back and each sleeve.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Set against a field of stockinette, and worked using the intarsia technique, the result is a multi-season sweater that can be worn from fall to spring.
