Vega Sweater by PetiteKnit is a relaxed, top-down sweater with a generous fit and approx. 22cm of positive ease. Worked seamlessly with carefully shaped shoulders and finished with a smart 2x2 ribbed neckline.

The Vega Sweater is worked from the top down. First, the top section of the back yoke is worked with short rows and increases. Then the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the back yoke. Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the shoulders, and the rest of the yoke is worked in the round on a circular needle. The body is worked in the round on a circular needle, and the sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. At the end, a rib neck edge is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neckline – first in double knitting and then in 2x2 rib.

Size guide

The Vega Sweater is designed to have approx. 22 cm [8¾ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 22 cm [8¾ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95 100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished sweater can be found on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the correct gauge is maintained throughout). Measure yourself before beginning your project to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body), you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 112 cm [44 inches] which in the given example would give you 22 cm [8¾ inches] of positive ease. Schematics can be found here.
