Baldric

Baldric is a beautifully designed knitting pattern that is seamlessly worked in rounds from the top down, making it ideal for knitters who enjoy modern construction methods. This versatile garment starts with short rows, expertly crafted back and forth to shape the neck for a flattering fit. Following the neck shaping, raglan increases are incorporated to create a final yoke length, after which sleeve stitches are placed on hold. At this stage, the body of the sweater is worked in rounds, adorned with stylish garter stitch details on both sides until it reaches the desired final length.

Once the body is complete, the fun continues as the sleeve stitches are picked up to knit the sleeves in rounds from the top down, also featuring elegant garter stitch details that tie the design together. One of the standout features of the Baldric pattern is its no-finish construction, allowing for a quick and hassle-free knitting experience.

The sample is knit in a size S and worn with a comfortable 6" (15.25 cm) positive ease at the bust, making it a perfect choice for layering or a relaxed fit. For the yarn, the sample is crafted using Kestrel by Quince & Co, a high-quality option that enhances the overall look and feel of the garment. For those looking for alternatives, a variety of suggested yarns are available to suit different preferences and styles.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern is perfect for creating a unique and stylish addition to any wardrobe. Explore the Baldric pattern today and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a cozy, fashionable piece that is sure to impress!
