Frankie Sweater Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Frankie Sweater
The Frankie Sweater is a comfortable, top-down striped pullover with a modern raglan yoke. Designed for a generous oversized fit, the yoke is shaped with traditional raglan increases, while short rows raise the back neckline for a better fit. The sleeves are knit in the round using either double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique. With its clean construction and bold stripes, Frankie is perfect for everyday wear with a playful twist.
