Focal Point

Introducing our Classic V-Neck Sweater knitting pattern, featuring a stylish design with drop shoulders and a beautifully shaped curved hem. This timeless piece is worked seamlessly from the top down, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. The shoulders are expertly shaped with short rows to ensure a flattering fit, while the upper back is knitted first for a smooth construction. Once the back is complete, stitches for each front are easily picked up from the cast-on row of the back and worked separately to the desired length, incorporating elegant V-neck shaping along the way.

After completing the fronts, they are then joined and worked in one continuous piece to match the length of the back. This modern approach allows for a clean and polished finish. Once the body is joined, it's worked in the round, and we introduce short rows to achieve a beautifully contoured hem. To finish, stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes, and each sleeve is knitted in the round toward the cuffs, providing a streamlined look and feel.

This pattern is particularly user-friendly, featuring a comprehensive photo tutorial for the German short rows technique, as well as two unique options for the curved hem. With a gauge of 26.5 stitches and 37 rows in Stockinette stitch using larger needles equating to 4” / 10 cm after blocking, you can easily personalize your sweater by selecting the needle size that achieves your desired gauge.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this Classic V-Neck Sweater pattern will help you create a stylish and comfortable addition to your wardrobe that's perfect for any season. Download it today and embrace the joy of knitting!
