Rigel

Introducing the Rigel Drop-Shoulder Turtleneck Sweater, an exquisite addition to your knitting repertoire. This stylish and versatile sweater is designed for knitters at the intermediate level and features a contemporary drop-shoulder silhouette. The sweater body is expertly worked in the round all the way to the armholes, where it is then divided to finish the front and back separately. Both the front and back necklines are thoughtfully lowered to ensure that the turtleneck collar lays flat, giving it a polished, professional finish. After joining the shoulders, you'll love how easy it is to pick up the sleeves at the armholes. The sleeves are worked down towards the cuffs in a wide rib pattern that beautifully echoes the vertical design of the body, adding both texture and style. Shallow sleeve caps are shaped with short rows for a comfortable fit, enhancing the overall wearability of your Rigel sweater. The only finishing techniques required are the addition of the turtleneck collar and weaving in ends, making this pattern suitable for knitters who want a project that is both fashion-forward and manageable. *SIZE & SKILL LEVEL* Finished chest circumference: 25½ (29, 32¾, 36¼) inches / 65 (73.5, 83, 92) cm.
