Discover the perfect addition to your wardrobe with this stylish sweater, expertly knitted in the round from the top down. This modern design begins with a beautifully crafted collar, followed by neckline shaping using German short rows for a tailored fit. Once the upper body is complete, it seamlessly transitions into a unique separation for sleeves. The result? A flattering silhouette that hugs your figure perfectly. After finishing the body, textured raglan lines are skillfully grafted together to create practical sleeve gussets, enhancing both comfort and style. Whether you prefer the magic loop method or traditional DPNs, the sleeves can be easily adapted to your favorite knitting technique.

As you finish your sweater, you'll also add practical flair with pocket linings and hems, all knitted and sewn to the main body for a polished finish. This pattern requires fingering weight yarn (MC) with an approximate yardage of 1200 (1295, 1380, 1580, 1820, 2040) yards / 1100 (1180, 1260, 1440, 1660, 1860) meters, and a contrasting color (CC) requires roughly 85 (85, 85, 90, 95, 100) yards / 75 (75, 75, 80, 85, 90) meters. We recommend using Brooklyn Tweed Loft, composed of 100% wool, with a gauge of 275 yards / 251 meters for each 50 g skein. The stunning sample showcases Artifact in 5 (5, 6, 6, 7, 8) skeins for the main color, complemented by 1 skein of Old World for the contrasting color.
