Compass Sweater Lite

The Compass Sweater Lite is the worsted weight version of the original Compass Sweater, showcasing a beautifully crafted design inspired by the intricate lines of a compass. This unique piece features 4 raised lines that run down the front, back, and sleeves, elegantly mimicking the cardinal points of North, South, East, and West (NSEW), while the raglan seams subtly represent the Northwest, Southwest, Southeast, and Northeast divisions. Designed with a classic v-neck front, this sweater is constructed in a top-down manner for easy and efficient knitting. The sleeves and edging are finished with a stylish 1x1 ribbed hem, and the bottom hem includes a chic side-split detail, adding to its overall flair. The Compass Sweater Lite is intended to fall gracefully around mid-hip level, offering a comfortable and flattering fit for all body types. This pattern includes seamless options for waist shaping—perfect for those who desire a more contoured silhouette—as well as customization possibilities for length adjustments. It is thoughtfully designed to provide a slightly “loose” fit through the body while maintaining fitted sleeves, allowing for a versatile style. If you prefer a more tailored look, feel free to size down (refer to the sizing notes for guidance). This design emphasizes #sizeinclusivity, making it suitable for a diverse range of knitters.
