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

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.

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.

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

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.
