Mycroft

Mycroft is a beautifully designed top-down knitting pattern that offers a seamless construction for a stylish and comfortable garment. The project begins with short rows worked back and forth to create a higher back neck, followed by a raglan yoke that is expertly crafted down to sleeve separation. Once the sleeves are set aside, the body is skillfully worked in rounds down to the hem, creating a flattering silhouette. The sleeves are completed last, also knitted top down to the cuffs. This clever design means no finishing is required, making it perfect for knitters who enjoy a streamlined experience. The Broken Rib pattern beautifully accents both the upper yoke and the lower body, as well as the sleeve cuffs, adding texture and interest to your piece.

This pattern uses Stolen Stitches NUA worsted yarn, which comes in at 109 yards (100 m) per 50g skein and is showcased here in the delightful color Bare Necessities. For this project, you will need approximately 865 (928, 1016, 1072, 1170, 1302, 1421) yards or 791 (848, 929, 980, 1079, 1190, 1299) meters of yarn, depending on your size selection. An alternative yarn is suggested below for those looking to customize their project further.

To ensure a perfect fit, please note the gauge is 20 stitches by 29 rows to achieve a 4” (10 cm) square in Stockinette stitch after blocking. The sample is designed to be worn with 4” (10 cm) of positive ease at the bust, ensuring a comfortable and relaxed fit that flatters all body types.
