Monday Sweater
The Monday Sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan increases shaping the yoke.
The neck rib is folded and knitted together to form a double neckband. Short rows are worked at the back of the neck to raise the neckline and create a comfortable fit.
The body is worked in the round and the sleeves are worked in the round using double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique.
The sweater is designed with approx. 15–20 cm of positive ease for a relaxed fit.
The model shown is wearing size XS and has a bust circumference of 82 cm.
Before beginning your project, knit a swatch to determine the needle size needed to achieve the correct gauge.
