Dreaming of Wales
This stylish sweater pattern starts with the shoulders, ensuring a perfectly tailored fit. The process begins by working the shoulder saddles, followed by picking up stitches for both the front and back sections of the sweater. These sections are skillfully worked flat until reaching the underarm, after which the work is seamlessly joined in the round. The body of the sweater is then knitted down to the hem, providing a cozy and comfortable silhouette that is perfect for any season.
Next, stitches are picked up to create the sleeves, which are expertly worked to the cuff for a polished finish. One of the highlights of this pattern is the way the neckline is finished. The held stitches for the neckline are picked up again, allowing for a clean and beautiful edge. Utilizing a provisional cast-on technique is highly recommended, as it helps avoid stiff edges throughout the garment and ensures an elegant and flexible result. However, for those who prefer a simpler approach, just casting on and subsequently picking up stitches in the cast-on edge is also a viable option.
This sweater is not only enjoyable to knit but also results in a fashionable piece that you will love to wear.
