Colorwork Dip

Discover the charm of our cropped, slightly A-line sweater knitting pattern, featuring stylish raglan sleeves and exquisite colorwork. This engaging project is designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning with a cozy neck ribbing that sets the perfect foundation. The neckline is artfully shaped using German short rows, allowing for a modern and flattering fit. Once the raglan increases are completed, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, enabling you to focus on the body of the sweater.

The body is then worked in the round towards the hem, culminating in a trendy split ribbing for a unique finishing touch. Once the body is completed, the previously held sleeve stitches are placed back on the needles, and the sleeves are knitted in the round towards the cuffs, ensuring a streamlined and professional look.

This knitting pattern is perfect for adventurous beginners and experienced knitters alike. It includes a comprehensive photo tutorial for German short rows to guide you through the process with ease. Additionally, the colorwork pattern is conveniently provided in both charted and written formats, making it accessible for every knitter’s preference.

GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows in Stockinette stitch using larger needles, which equals 4 inches (10 cm) after blocking. Get ready to create a beautiful, weather-ready sweater that showcases your unique style and knitting skills!
