Five By Five Sweater Knitting Pattern

Introducing the Five By Five sweater, a stylish and easy-to-knit casual sweater that's perfect for knitters of all skill levels! This super-comfortable design features stretchy ribbing that ensures a cozy fit, making it an ideal choice for your everyday wardrobe. The straight body is created using a unique bottom-up knitting technique known as the contiguous method, which not only enhances the sweater's structure but also provides an opportunity to experiment with fun striping patterns that will keep you engaged as you knit.

The Five By Five sweater showcases a classic scoop neck and snug-fitting sleeves that add to its contemporary charm. It looks stunning when crafted in slightly variegated yarns, although solid colors can bring out a clean, modern aesthetic. Lightweight cotton yarns can also be an excellent option, as the added stretch from the ribbing allows for great flexibility. This pattern is particularly well-suited for using up those single skeins and yarn remnants that you have lying around, making it a perfect stash-busting project!

Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X) - with a bust circumference of 72/76, 80/86, 91/96, 102/106, 111/116, and 121/126 cm (28/30, 32/34, 36/38, 40/42, 44/46, 48/50 inches). The finished measurements at the armpit when laid flat are 50 (55, 60, 65, 70, 75) cm (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 inches), ensuring a comfortable fit. The finished length of the sweater measures 61 (63, 65, 67, 69, 70) cm, which translates to approximately 20.1, 20.9, 21.7, 22.4, 23.2, and 24 inches. The sample garment is modeled by a model standing at 1.80m (5'11") tall, who is wearing a size S while showcasing a lengthened M for a unique look.

Yarn Requirements: For the main color (MC), we recommend using Walk Collection Delicate Merino in the lovely graphic shade, requiring just 1 skein. For the contrast colors, you'll need 1 skein each of Hedgehog Fibres Sock in the vibrant shade "Where's My Bike" and additional CC yarn to complete your project. With the right yarn choices, you can create a sweater that is not only beautiful but also uniquely yours.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, the Five By Five sweater knitting pattern offers a delightful experience and an eye-catching finished garment. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to elevate your knitting project and showcase your creativity!
