Skeleton Key Sweater

Skeleton Key Sweater Knitting Pattern features an eye-catching design with traveling cables that elegantly wind up the front of this cozy sweater, meticulously crafted in easy-care superwash wool. The back of the sweater and sleeves showcase a smooth plain stockinette stitch, providing a beautiful contrast to the detailed cabling. With a simple drop shoulder style, Skeleton Key ensures maximum non-restrictive movement, making it perfect for active little ones. The innovative live neck stitches, which precede the ribbed collar, allow for generous stretch when dressing your child, ensuring that pulling the sweater over their heads is a breeze.

Designed to be worked flat up to the shoulders, the construction requires minimal seaming as the shoulders are joined before the sleeves are picked up and knitted down to the cuffs. For those who prefer a more seamless experience, optional instructions for knitting the sleeves seamlessly are included as well. The Skeleton Key Sweater is thoughtfully designed with approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of positive ease, allowing for a comfortable fit. The pattern showcases two lovely sample sizes: size 14 (left) and size 8 (right), ensuring there’s a cozy fit for various ages.

This knitting pattern is comprehensive, including both a cable chart and detailed written instructions, making it accessible to knitters of all levels. Whether you're a beginner eager to tackle cabling or a seasoned pro looking for a charming project, you'll find this pattern to be inspiring.
