Seve

**Seve Sweater Knitting Pattern: A Versatile Top-Down Design** The Seve sweater offers seamless construction, allowing knitters to easily create a stylish and comfortable garment from the top down. This modern design features both the front and back worked in a beautiful Stockinette stitch, complemented by an eye-catching slip stitch pattern in the center. The clever design means there is no distinction in shaping, giving you the freedom to wear the wide pattern panel in either direction, making it incredibly versatile for different styling options. The knitting process begins with casting on for the upper back, which includes the shoulders and neck. After expertly completing the short-row shoulder slope, you’ll continue working the back flat until reaching the underarm. To ensure the front matches the back in length, simply pick up the shoulder stitches from the cast-on edge of the back and cast on for the front neck. Once you reach the underarm, both the front and back pieces are joined to work the body in the round, all the way down to the optional split hem at the bottom. For those opting for the long sleeve version, stitches are picked up around the armholes, allowing you to knit the sleeves top down in rounds for a cohesive look. This pattern is not only straightforward but also requires no finishing, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. Make sure to check your gauge: 18 stitches by 26 rows equals a 4" (10 cm) square in Stockinette stitch. The suggested ease for this pattern is between 9 to 13 inches (23 to 33 cm), ensuring a comfortable fit that allows for layering.
