South Sweater 2409-09 | Printed Knitting Pattern

The South Sweater is worked from the top down with a stripe pattern, holding one strand of Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt together with one strand of Tynn Silk Mohair throughout.

The yoke is worked back and forth at first, using short rows to shape the neckline while working raglan increases. Once the short-row shaping is complete, the work is joined in the round and the raglan increases are continued. The body and sleeves are then divided and completed separately. Finally, the neckband is worked to finish the sweater.
