Pointe

Introducing the exquisite Pointe Shrug Sweater, the ideal addition to your wardrobe for dressing up your favorite tank top, keeping warm during workouts, or as a thoughtful gift for the dancer in your life! This stylish shrug sweater seamlessly combines fashion and functionality, ensuring you stay cozy while looking chic.

Designed to be worked from the top down with smaller needles, the Pointe Shrug Sweater features a comfortable 1x1 rib collar that begins with a smooth tubular (or traditional) cast on. The raglan section is beautifully crafted using stockinette stitch and German short rows, with increases positioned on the raglan diagonals, ensuring a perfect fit for all body types. Detailed raglan instructions are thoughtfully included for each size, providing clarity and ease of use.

Once the raglan is complete, the stitches are skillfully split into body stitches and sleeve stitches, with additional stitches added using a backwards loop cast-on at the armpits, enhancing mobility and comfort. The body section flows directly into a 1x1 rib hem, gracefully ending just below the armpit to highlight your silhouette. Afterward, the sleeves are expertly picked up and worked in the round, featuring subtle decreases towards the wrist, which culminate in an optional thumb-hole and a stylish 1x1 rib "palmband" (or wristband) for added flair. Both the hem and sleeve palmbands are finished with a meticulous tubular (or traditional) bind-off, providing a refined touch to your finished piece.

For precise fitting, the measurement provided below refers to the upper bust—the circumference around your body just beneath your armpits. With 16 sizes available, you’re sure to find the perfect fit tailored just for you. Don't miss out on creating this versatile and enchanting Pointe Shrug Sweater that adds warmth and style to any outfit!
