Prima Pullover • PDF Knitting Pattern Download for off Shoulder Ribbed Sweater - Etsy

PDF DOWNLOAD (not a finished sweater for a knitting pattern to make an off-the-shoulder ribbed sweater with size-inclusive shaping and 9 sizes. Pattern is in English. About: a top-down, seamless sweater that begins with raglan shaping and princess seam bust darts. It includes hip shaping and an optional curved front hem, plus many suggestions on how to customize the fit for your specific shape. The sleeves are gradually tapered to the wrist, with a cozy extra-long thumbhole sleeve option. Yarn: worsted weight wool yarn - Berroco Vintage Worsted is recommended, but you can substitute for any yarn that meets gauge. See photos for sizing chart with yarn estimate per size! Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) & US 6 (4 mm) circular needles with a circumference large enough for your bust; US 7 (4.5mm) DPNs or circular needles for knitting the sleeves in the round Gauge: With US 7 / 4.5 mm needles, 24 stitches worked in k2, p2 ribbing should be 5" / 12.7 cm after blocking while moderately stretched. This will be ~3" / 7.6cm while unstretched, and ~7" / 18 cm while max stretched. The row gauge is 27 rows in 4" / 10 cm. Sizes & Fit: The sweater has 9 sizes, from 28" - 62" bust (71 cm - 157.5 cm). It's designed to be worn with ~11"-20" (28-51 cm) of negative ease; this sounds alarming, but the ribbed fabric is SUPER stretchy. All sizes are designed to have the same consistent look of the ribbed fabric, with slightly more negative ease at the bust to accentuate the bust shaping, and slightly less negative ease at the waist and hips for extra comfort and movement. Please see photos for how much extra stretch this sweater still has left over while worn, making it both form-fitting and extremely cozy and comfortable! It was designed with size and shape inclusivity as a priority. See photos for full sizing chart and yarn estimates. Recommended skill level: Advanced beginner and up. This pattern includes a lot of shaping, using right- and left-leaning increases and decreases, in both knit and purl. The pattern includes descriptions for all terms and links to Youtube tutorials for all techniques, but you should feel confident knitting, purling, and reading patterns before you make this.
