Keyhole Pullover
Craft a stunning seamless sweater with this easy-to-follow knitting pattern! The design features sleeves and the bottom section knitted separately, starting from the bottom and progressing up to the underarm. At this point, they are expertly joined and worked together with the yoke, creating a beautifully cohesive garment. The yoke is shaped with strategic decrease rounds, enhancing the fit and style of your sweater. One unique element is the keyhole detail, which is created in the upper part of the yoke by transitioning from rounds to rows, and later rejoining to continue working in the round at the neck.
As a seamless design, this sweater eliminates the need for any sewing, making it an enjoyable and efficient project for knitters of all skill levels. To neatly finalize the underarm stitches, return them to your double-pointed needles (DPNs) and secure them using a three-needle bind-off technique. This results in clean and polished joins, enhancing the overall look of your finished piece.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 13 stitches and 30 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch by holding 2 strands of yarn together. We recommend taking the time to check your gauge—this small step can save you time and frustration later on!
For this pattern, the bulky weight yarn calls for knitting with two strands held together to achieve the desired thickness and warmth. If you prefer, feel free to substitute with any single strand of bulky weight yarn, just be sure to check that you match the correct gauge for the best results.
Perfect for keeping cozy during cooler months, this versatile sweater will become a staple in your wardrobe. Whether layering over a shirt or wearing on its own, this sweater showcases your knitting skills while providing comfort and style.
