This casual chic top-down sweater is designed with raglan sleeves and a flattering scooped neckline, making it a versatile addition to your autumn wardrobe.

The Soothsayer Sweater boasts a unique high-low hem expertly shaped with short rows, along with set-in pockets that are cleverly hidden inside the reverse stockinette body for added functionality. To make your knitting experience as enjoyable as possible, the majority of the sweater is worked in stockinette in the round, minimizing the need for purling. Once completed, the sweater is simply turned inside out, revealing its cozy texture.

To ensure a flattering fit, the pattern includes waist shaping that creates a subtle hourglass curve, while gentle A-line increases allow for comfortable wear around the hips. The cuffs, pocket details, and neckline are elegantly finished with twisted rib, adding a touch of sophistication to this charming sweater. Whether you're wearing it to a casual gathering or snuggling up with a book, the Soothsayer Sweater will keep you warm and stylish.

The PDF pattern is fully written and features both metric and US terminology, making it accessible to knitters of all skill levels. Plus, it includes a comprehensive step-by-step photo tutorial for creating welt pockets, ensuring that you achieve the professional-quality finish you desire.
