Fairytale Sweater
pdf download-pattern in English
The Fairytale Sweater is worked from the top down. First the shoulders and low neckline are worked. Then the yoke is worked over both body and sleeves. Once the yoke is worked, the work is divided so that the body and sleeves are finished separately. At the neckline, stitches are picked up for the cable, which is worked all the way around the neckline edge using the same principle as when working an I-cord edge. Stitches are picked up along the cable and finally a wide ribbed border is worked along the neckline. The entire garment is worked using 2 strands of yarn held together (one strand of each quality).
The cable will lie around the neck and nicely focus the yoke, and the wide ribbed border will mark the neckline.
Fairytale Sweater is seamless.
