Butterfly Wings Sweater
Introducing our Close Fitting Pullover knitting pattern! This stylish sweater features a stunning butterfly wings panel intricately worked on both the front and back, creating a unique and eye-catching design that is sure to impress. Designed with raglan sleeves, a cozy turtle neck, and long sleeves, this pullover is perfect for keeping warm and fashionable in cooler weather. Optional waist shaping allows for a customized fit, making it not just a garment, but a personalized statement piece. The sweater is crafted to be close-fitting with 2.5 cm (approximately 1 inch) of body ease for optimal comfort.
This beautifully illustrated design has been knitted using Ice Yarns California Wool, but feel free to substitute with any chunky or bulky yarn that meets the specified gauge of 15 stitches and 19 rows to 4 inches (10 cm). This versatility in yarn choice allows you to unleash your creativity and personalize your pullover to match your unique style.
The main body of the sweater is worked in Stocking Stitch, providing a smooth and refined texture that beautifully showcases the intricately designed butterfly wings panel at the center of both the back and front. Detailed instructions for the butterfly wing panel are given in an easy-to-follow chart format, ensuring a seamless knitting experience. The sweater's edgings and neck feature double ribbing, adding an extra touch of elegance and durability.
Our pattern provides clear instructions for flat knitting the back, front, and sleeves separately from the bottom up. Once completed, the neckband is created by picking up stitches around the neckline following the joining of the right shoulder seam, ensuring a tidy finish. This approachable yet sophisticated knitting project is perfect for knitters looking to elevate their skill set while creating a delightful garment that they'll be proud to wear.
Whether you're looking for a cozy pullover to wear on chilly days or a thoughtful handmade gift for a friend, this Close Fitting Pullover knitting pattern is the perfect choice. Get started today and indulge in the joy of knitting your very own stunning sweater!
