Scarlet Sweater Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Scarlet Sweater
The Scarlet Sweater is an elegant and structured top-down design featuring distinctive raised knit columns along the centre front, back, body sides, and sleeve undersides. The back yoke is worked first, flat with shoulder shaping using short rows, followed by a clean i-cord edge. Shoulder stitches are picked up along this i-cord and worked flat before being joined at the front. The body is then knit in the round, and sleeves are picked up and worked downwards. The sweater is finished with a tidy neck ribbing worked from picked-up stitches.
This seamless construction results in a modern, refined silhouette with beautiful architectural details.
