Jaiden

Jaiden is a beautifully cozy sweater that is skillfully designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down. This stylish knit features an intricate yoke crafted in Double Seed Stitch, which is initially worked back and forth before transitioning to work in the round. To begin, the knitting process starts with the cast-on of the back neck and sleeve cap stitches, ensuring a refined shape from the outset.

The yoke of the sweater is expertly knitted back and forth until the neck shaping is complete. Once that step is finished, the yoke is continued in the round until reaching the underarms. At this point, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, allowing the knitter to focus on creating the body of the sweater first. This top-down approach not only allows for precise fit adjustments but also makes it easy to try the sweater on as you go. After finishing the body, the sleeve stitches are returned to the needles to knit them in the round, complete with charming faux elbow patches that add a unique touch.

To complete the look, the neck finishing is worked last, ensuring a polished final appearance. The design of the Jaiden sweater offers approximately 3 inches (7.5 cm) of positive ease at the chest for a comfortable fit and effortless layering.

The sample is beautifully knit in Masgot by Polo&Co, a soft and luxurious yarn that boasts 290 yards (266 m) per 100 g ball. For those looking for alternative yarn options, we provide suggestions below to suit your personal style and preference.
