FREE UNIQUE ROW CHECKER

Enjoy knitting this classic sweatshirt pattern and end up with an elegant take on a sporty sweater.

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.

Yarn
Louet’s Euroflax – Sport - 100% Linen

This elegant linen yarn achieves exceptional softness that is the result of fine splitting the long flax fibers and double boiling the yarn during production. The result is a strong, easy-to-care-for yarn that grows softer each time you wash it. It is non-allergenic and can absorb 20% of its weight in water without feeling damp. The pectins in the fiber give it a heat-regulating quality. Machine washable and dryable.

Pattern
Here is a project that uses the simplest stitches, garter and stockinette, in an imaginative way to create a pattern that is fun and rewarding. Knitted top down starting at the neck, with increases along the four raglan seams, two colors are alternated to create a yoke crafted in very small stripes. The lower body and sleeves are worked in stockinette and finished with narrow bands of garter. Stitches are then picked up around the neck and the seamless hood is worked in garter stripes to match the yoke.

Yarn Recommendations
Lana Knit’s allhemp6 – DK – 100% hemp, eco-yarn

Long line flax is wet spun for vibrant color, outstanding drape, longevity and colorfast with ultimate softness and sheen. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And hemp is stronger and softer than cotton, will last twice as long and will not mildew. It’s a sustainable crop and an acre of hemp will produce as much fiber as 2 to 3 acres of cotton. While pesticides and herbicides are used in the production of other fibers, hemp requires none. Hand or machine wash, lay flat to dry or tumble dry.

Trendsetter’s Scarlett, DK, 100% Egyptian Cotton

This highest-quality cotton yarn is designed to be extra smooth as well as soft. A high twist, multi-ply washable yarn with loft and stretch, so it’s not only easy to care for, but easy to knit with as well.

The on-screen color representations for yarn may not be precise representations of actual colors due to variance in monitor calibrations.

FREE UNIQUE ROW CHECKER

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. 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.

FREE UNIQUE ROW CHECKER

Did you ever think you would knit a bomber jacket? This sporty collegiate design is a modern day take on the good ole fashioned bomber. Worked from the top down, it is as much fun to make as it is to wear. The back, left front and right front are knit from the neck to the underarm where they are joined and continued in one piece. The ribbed waist band is incorporated. The sleeves are knit from the neck to the to the wrist and ribbed cuffs are added. The sleeves and body raglan seams are sewn, then stitches are picked up around the neck for the collar. Underarm seams are sewn, the zipper is attached, and zipper facings sewn in place.

The result is a unique sweater that may bring back fond memories of college years, or garner a few compliments on your handiwork.

Yarn
Brown Sheep’s Burly Spun, 100% American Wool, Super Bulky, Eco-friendly

This single-ply wool will stand the test of time. Spun and dyed in the USA—hand wash, dry flat. All Brown Sheep’s yarns are dyed using their proprietary process, which recycles up to 90% of the water used in dying. And since the textile industry is among the top three industries for water pollution, it is comforting to know Brown Sheep yarn is eco-friendly.

For Francis Pullover Kit - Click Here

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.

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. 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. Comprised of four pieces, front, back, and two sleeves, each worked top down and with German short rows to shape the neck, the result is a project that is rewarding in more ways than one. The knitting is interesting, and the outcome is luxurious.
