Petite Knit | Patroon | Cloud Sweater (papieren versie – Engels)

Dit is het papieren Engelse patroon van de Cloud Sweater van PetiteKnit. Dit patroon wordt per post verstuurd.

Cloud Sweater is worked from the top down. First the back yoke is worked back and forth while short rows are worked to shape the shoulders. Then each shoulder is worked separately, back and forth and with short rows. The shoulders are then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. The sleeves are worked in the round. At the end, the stockinette stitch funnel neckline is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck opening.

Knit a swatch before beginning the project to check if the recommended needle size gives you the correct gauge.
