Northland Sweater - Knitting Pattern

Designed by PetiteKnit

This pattern is a printed pattern in English.

The Northland Sweater is worked from the top down. The first part of the yoke is worked back and forth on a circular needle to shape the neckline, then the work is joined to continue knitting in the round. The construction of the yoke begins with shoulder increases on both right side and wrong side rows, continues with sleeve increases and ends with classic raglan increases. The rib edge at the neck is worked at the end from stitches that are picked up. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a long circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. The Northland Sweater is worked seamlessly and requires no finishing other than weaving in ends. 

Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge.

Size guide

The Northland Sweater is designed to have approx. 10 cm [4 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 10 cm [4 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 86-91 (91-96) 96-101 (101-107) 107-113 (113-119) 119-124 (124-132) 132-144 cm [33¾-35¾ (35¾-37¾) 37¾-39¾ (39¾-42¼) 42¼-44½ (44½-46¾) 46¾-48¾ (48¾-52) 52-56¾ inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size to knit. For example, if you measures 106 cm [41¾ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size L. A size L sweater has a bust circumference of 116 cm [45¾ inches] which in the given example would give you 10 cm [4 inches] of positive ease.
