...the Berlinknits sweater
…the stunning BERLIN KNITS sweater is crafted seamlessly from the top down, making it the perfect project for knitters looking for a stylish and cozy garment. This beautiful sweater features a body worked in garter stitch, accented with charming old shale pattern stripes right before the bottom ribbing. The sleeves are elegantly knit in stockinette stitch (St st), providing texture contrast. The neck of the BERLIN KNITS sweater is artfully shaped using short rows, allowing for a comfortable and flattering fit. Once the neckline is complete, the yoke is skillfully worked in the round, incorporating raglan increases that enhance the overall silhouette. After finishing the yoke shaping, the sleeve stitches are temporarily put on hold while you cast on the underarm stitches using your preferred cast-on method. The body of the sweater is then continued in the round, featuring an A-line shaping for a gentle flared look, and finished off with ribbing for added structure. Finally, the held sleeve stitches are picked up to work the sleeves from the top down in the round, ensuring a consistent and polished finish. Since this lovely jumper is knit from the top down, it’s highly recommended to try it on periodically to check the length and overall fit. Adjust the length and width of the yoke as desired by adding or reducing increases, or modifying the number of underarm stitches to suit your style. This exquisite BERLIN KNITS sweater pattern is designed for knitters of various skill levels, and it’s a wonderful addition to any wardrobe. For this pattern, you’ll use YarnHolst garn Supersoft, which is made of 100% pure wool for warmth and comfort, but an alternative yarn is suggested below for versatility. Embrace your creativity and enjoy the satisfaction of making a beautiful piece that you can wear with pride!
