Free pattern for Snowdrop Wool Sweater & Daisy Sweater with pattern and round yoke

Download PDF here

This sweater is a great project for those who want to try pattern knitting. The sweater is worked top down on circular needles and divided at the armhole. While the sleeve stitches are settling, knit the body. Then work the sleeves. At the top of the yoke there is a pattern that goes down over the sleeves and a little on the body. The pattern is worked according to a diagram. At the top and bottom knit edges in rib. At the front of sleeves there is a turn in addition to the pattern. Where only one number is written in the pattern, the number applies to all sizes. The sweater pattern is intended for lightly experienced and experienced knitters.

NOTE! The sweater can be knitted in two versions: the Snowdrop Wool Sweater which is in 100% wool or the Daisy Sweater which is without wool and instead consists of 55% acrylic, 35% cotton and 10% polyester.

Instructions:

NECKLINE

Cast on 64 (66) 68 (70) sts with c 1 on circular needle or double pointed needles nr 8. Join sts and work 3½ cm 1/1 rib - be careful not to twist sts.

Make the back higher on the back piece

Change to stocking st. On 1st round p2m at start of round on back and pm in the middle after 32 (33) 34 (35) sts.

On 2nd round work German short rows on back piece and sleeves to make back higher.

German short rows on back = work short rows; turn piece where it says 'turn', loosen the first st p with yarn in front of n (whether g or p row) and tighten sts a lot to form two loops, continue. Knitting turn st: Knit sts consisting of 2 loops, as a single st. This method avoids a gap, the method is almost invisible.

Knit to 4 sts before marker in the middle, turn. p for 4 sts before marker in the middle, turn. Knit g 8 sts before marker mid front, turn. p for 8 sts before marker mid front, turn. g to 12 sts before marker mid front, turn. p for 12 sts before marker mid front, turn. g until round start.

Knit additional 0 (1) 2 (4) rounds. Mid marker can be removed, but keep the 2 markers mid back at start of round.

On next round inc 24 (26) 24 (26) sts evenly on round = 1st inc.

Inc: Pick up 1 st in loop between 2 sts, work st i g.

There are now 88 (92) 92 (96) sts on round.

 

 

YOKE

Change to pattern according to the diagram. Work diagram once vertically, at the same time inc sts evenly on round at the 4 inc places as shown in diagram.

2nd inc: inc 24 (24) 28 (28) sts evenly on round = 112 (116) 120 (124) sts.

3rd inc: inc 24 (24) 28 (28) sts = 136 (140) 148 (152) sts.

4th inc: inc 24 (28) 28 (28) sts = 160 (168) 176 (180) sts.

5th inc: Inc 24 (28) 28 (32) sts = 184 (196) 204 (212) sts on round.

6th inc: inc 28 (28) 28 (32) sts = 212 (224) 232 (244) sts on round.

Work diagram to arrow where it says 7 = armhole.

Sleeve yoke and division of piece

At beggining of round work over half of the back piece 30 (32) 33 (35) st, work sleeve 46 (48) 50 (52) sts on an cable stitch needle, work over front piece st, work the other sleeve 46 (48) 50 (52) sts on a cable stitch needle, work 30 (32) 33 (35) sts over last half of back piece until the beggining of the round. Let the sleeve sts rest. On next round pick up 6 sts in armhole, work across front piece sts and pick up 6 sts in second armhole, work back piece sts. There are now 132 (140) 144 (152) sts on round.

 

 

BODY

 Continue diagram until finished. Then work stocking st in c 2 until body from armhole measures 23 cm. Work 10 cm 1/1 rib, cast off all st." in pattern:

 

SLEEVE

From (R) and in continuation of sleeve sts, pick up 6 sts at edge of body armhole with c 1 = 52 (54) 56 (58) sts on sleeve. pm at the beginning of the round = under sleeve. Read until ¤

The sleeve is also worked according to the diagram until the pattern is finished. After diagram continue in stocking st in c 2.

Knit 2 rounds. ¤ Then dec 2 sts every 5th round a total of 10 (11) 11 (11) times. dec at sleeves: at beginning of round, knit 2 g t, work to 2 sts before beginning of round, knit 2 i g t. Now you have dec 2 sts on round.

Switch to double pointed needles when sts cannot be on circular needle anymore. Work until sleeve measures 34 cm. There are now 32 (32) 34 (36) sts on round.

Knit 1 round of long sts by wrapping yarn 2 times around needle in every st on entire round. Release one wool round needle when working sts on next round.

Work 18 rounds of the diagram. Continue with c 1 and work 1 round p - folding edge, followed by 18 rounds stocking stitch.

Knit the 32 (32) 34 (36) sts together while casting off sts as follows: with an cable stitch needle, weave every second of the loops from long sts round in on cable stitch needle so that there is the same number of sts as on sleeve.

Place n with sleeve sts and n with long st purlwise parallel to each other. Insert a cable stitch needle into 1st st of sleeve st, continue through 1st long st and work 1 st. Cast off one st. Continue to knit 2 sts g t - 1 from every n - and cast off all sts at the same time.

Work the other sleeve the same way.
