Ivy Sweater Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Ivy Sweater
The Ivy Sweater is a soft and cozy top-down knit, constructed seamlessly in one piece. The yoke is shaped in three stages: first with shoulder increases, then sleeve-only increases, and finally with classic raglan increases for both body and sleeves. Short rows are worked to shape the neckline, ensuring a comfortable and flattering fit. The sleeves are finished in the round using either double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique. Designed for a relaxed silhouette with gentle positive ease, this sweater is a timeless staple for any wardrobe.
