Colorblock Sweater
Discover the charm of our slightly cropped colorblock sweater, featuring an adorable lace pattern on both the front and back. This trendy sweater is knitted from the bottom up, with separate sections for the front and back. The shoulders are expertly shaped using short rows, and the shoulder seams are seamlessly joined with a Three-needle bind-off technique for a professional finish. The neck ribbing is crafted in the round, folded in half, and securely sewn on the inside for added comfort and style.
The sleeves are cleverly designed, with stitches picked up from each side of the body. They are then worked back and forth in rows toward the stylish cuffs. The sleeve ribbings are also worked in the round, ensuring a cohesive and polished look. This pattern includes a detailed photo tutorial for the seaming process, making it easy for knitters of all levels to successfully complete their project. The lace pattern is provided in written format for your convenience.
This delightful sweater is designed to be worn with approximately 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) of positive ease, ensuring a comfortable and relaxed fit. The model is shown in size S, but this versatile pattern can be adapted to fit a range of sizes.
To achieve the perfect gauge, you will need to use larger needles—20 stitches and 36 rows in Garter stitch will give you a measurement of 4 inches (10 cm) after washing and blocking. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this colorblock sweater pattern is a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire. Create a stunning piece that is perfect for layering during the cooler months!
