Cozy Afternoon

Cozy Afternoon Sweater Knitting Pattern is expertly designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down, making it a favorite among knitting enthusiasts. The journey begins with the yoke, which is crafted back and forth, before being joined to work in the round. This innovative design incorporates the contiguous set-in-sleeves method developed by Susie Myers, ensuring a perfect fit and a beautifully structured silhouette. The front of the sweater features the stunning Madeira Lace pattern, adding an elegant touch.

As you progress through the yoke shaping, once it is complete, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold while underarm stitches are cast on. This method enhances the overall flow of the garment, allowing for a polished finish. The body is then worked in the round until you reach the ribbing. Once finished, the sleeve stitches are picked up again, enabling you to knit the sleeves top down in the round until the very end. The beauty of working from the top down allows for easy fitting adjustments; we recommend trying on the sweater periodically to ensure the perfect length and overall fit.

Errata: For the Madeira Lace pattern written instructions, please note that Rnd 3 should read: K3, yo, * sk2p, yo, k1, yo; repeat from * to 5 stitches before end, sk2p, yo, k2.
