Monte Carlo - beaded argyle sweater

Discover the beauty of our elegant knitted top featuring three-quarter sleeves that beautifully complement any outfit. This stylish design is expertly shaped at the waist, with short row shaping implemented to create flattering bust darts. For those who prefer a more relaxed fit, feel free to omit the waist darts for added comfort. Apart from the ribbing on the cuffs and the welting, this top is predominantly worked in smooth stocking stitch, allowing the intricate details to shine through.

The standout features of this top include delicate beading on the sleeves and a stunning neckline edging, which adds a touch of sophistication to your wardrobe. The beads are skillfully knitted into the fabric, but if you prefer a different approach, beads can also be sewn on afterward—choose the method that works best for you. To ensure ease of beading, the beads are threaded onto the yarn at the beginning of the project, and the top is knitted flat rather than in the round, reducing the distance the beads are carried along the yarn.

This versatile knitted top is perfect for various occasions, from casual outings to more formal events. With its combination of elegance and comfort, this pattern is suitable for knitters of all skill levels looking to enhance their wardrobe.
