I-Cord, V Neck Sweater Knitting Pattern (CRU2604)
📬 Printed Booklet (Posted to You)
A timeless V-neck sweater featuring elegant i-cord edging for a clean, contemporary finish. Worked in smooth stocking stitch, this versatile design offers a relaxed everyday style that pairs effortlessly with jeans, skirts, or layered over a collared shirt.
The sweater is knitted flat in separate pieces with classic raglan shaping, then seamed for a polished finish. The understated silhouette allows the beautiful drape of the yarn to shine, while the i-cord neckline and hems add a refined detail without overwhelming the simple design.
Photographed in Crucci Greywacke 4ply, a beautifully soft fine wool blend with excellent stitch definition.
