Free Back Pack Project Bag • Free Unique Row Checker
This unique knitwear design results in a sweater that will get scores of compliments for the lucky recipient of your finished work, or plenty of “Wow, you knit this?” praise for yourself. Yarn of exceptionally high quality is paired with the tailored shaping and finishing details of a classic dress shirt, and it’s all done seamlessly. This top-down sweater has sleeves that are picked up and knit off of the body and shaped using short rows, and neither the buttoned cuffs, plackets nor collar require sewing. Clear instructions will guide you step-by-step through this smartly designed sweater, and the finished result could offer a bonus—upgrading your status as a skillful knitter.
Like all top-down sweaters that are worked in one piece without seams, you can easily check the fit—shoulders, chest, sleeves, length—as you knit. If this sweater pattern appears too challenging, don’t hesitate. Haven’t knitted a top-down sweater before? Don’t worry. Here’s a free, printable PDF of top-down knitting instructions.

Yarn Options:
Euroflax Sport, 100% Linen
This linen yarn has exceptional softness that is achieved by 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. Machine washable.
The on-screen color representations for yarn may not be precise representations of actual colors due to variance in monitor calibrations.

You can insert the ball of yarn from which you’re knitting and run the yarn through the porthole, so if you like, you can even knit while walking down the street.
