Gem Sweater

Introducing the beautiful Gem Sweater knitting pattern, perfect for knitters looking to create a stylish, cozy addition to their wardrobe. This pattern features a unique construction method, starting at the back from the top down to the base of the armholes. Next, both front sections are picked up and knitted separately, allowing for an elegant design as you work from the top down to the edge of the front neck. After skillfully joining both front pieces, you'll continue working on the front until reaching the armhole, and then seamlessly join the front and back to complete the sweater in the round down to the hem. To finish off, you'll pick up and knit for the sleeve, giving the Gem Sweater a polished look.

Don't forget about the essential gauge! Using a 5 mm (US 8) needle, the gauge is 17 stitches x 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” in stockinette stitch after blocking. For those who prefer a bit more texture, the pattern stitch gauge is 18 stitches x 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for ensuring your Gem Sweater fits perfectly, so be sure to check it before you start!

This versatile knitting pattern is suitable for knitters of all levels, from beginners to advanced, who are eager to learn new techniques while creating a lovely garment. Whether you’re looking to make this stunning sweater for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for someone special, the Gem Sweater is sure to impress.
