Saga Sweater - Knitting Pattern
Designed by PetiteKnit
This pattern is a printed pattern in English.
The Saga Sweater is knitted top-down in an allover texture pattern. The upper back yoke is worked flat with increases, then each shoulder is built separately from stitches picked up along the back yoke. The work joins on a circular needle to be worked in the round, sleeve stitches are picked up, and the rest of the yoke is finished with raglan increases. Body and sleeves continue in the round, finishing with a ribbed neck edge.
Knit a gauge swatch in the textured pattern (using the chart in the pattern) before starting, to confirm your needle size gives the correct gauge.
