Ellyce

Knit entirely seamlessly from the top down, the Ellyce Sweater is the ultimate cozy outer layer for those transitional times of year, while also serving as a fantastic layering piece during the coldest winter months. This stylish sweater features a cozy rolled collar and long, fitted sleeves, specifically designed to help block out the chill and keep you warm without sacrificing style. Ellyce begins at the neck with innovative raglan shaping for a comfortable fit, and once the sleeve stitches are divided from the body stitches, gentle waist shaping leads into dramatic flares at the back that form beautiful pleats.

Before finishing the body, you'll pick up stitches along the sides and around the neck to create the snug and cozy collar, as well as the elegant front bands. The sleeves are then knitted downward from the yoke, making this pattern enjoyable and smooth to work through. One of the best features of the Ellyce Sweater is that the only finishing required is to weave in a few ends, leaving you with a polished and professional-looking piece. If desired, you can also employ mattress stitch to temporarily sew up the pleats for blocking, ensuring they fold nicely for a polished finish. Although the stitch pattern is accessible enough for a beginner, keep in mind that this pattern does require the knitter to work on raglan and neckline shaping simultaneously, providing a rewarding challenge that will enhance your knitting skills. This carefully crafted pattern has been both test-knit and tech-edited to ensure clarity and ease of use. Perfect for knitters eager to create a sophisticated and functional addition to their wardrobe, the Ellyce Sweater is ideal for those who appreciate quality craftsmanship and a seamless knitting experience.
