This top-down sweater pattern showcases an innovative construction method. It begins with a provisional cast-on for the back yoke and is worked back and forth. Next, we shape the shoulders using the German short-row technique to create a beautifully contoured fit. The neckline is then formed through strategic stitch increases, leading to the front yoke, which is knitted until the armholes. Once both the front and back yokes are completed, the sweater is joined and knitted in the round for a seamless finish. The sweater is elegantly finished with a twisted rib at the bottom, and you'll need to pick up stitches for both the collar and sleeves.

The result is a stylish slightly oversized silhouette, designed with ease in the chest area, a classic crew neck, and seamless shoulders and sides. The sleeves are straight, with fitted cuffs for a polished look. For those looking to match with younger knitters, we offer a charming Mini Me version available in sizes 2 to 14 years. Plus, if you're seeking a petite option, the coolkids size 14 fits like an XS.
