PetiteKnit Vega Sweater - Knitting Pattern
Designed by PetiteKnit
This knitting pattern is a printed pattern in English.
The Vega Sweater is worked from the top down with a contiguous construction, so the shoulders and sleeve caps are shaped as you go rather than seamed afterwards. The upper back yoke is worked back and forth and shaped with short rows and increases. The shoulders are then worked from stitches picked up along the back yoke, after which the yoke and body are joined and worked in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or using Magic Loop. At the end, the neckline is finished with a double-knitted edge followed by 2x2 rib.
