Contour Sweater
Designed by Suvi Simola / Suviknits
Contour Sweater blends a relaxed look with clean, modern detailing. Carefully placed contrasting colored details create a subtle, yet striking visual accent that highlights the shape of the sweater.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from top down. The work begins with the fronts that are worked separately until the neckline shaping is completed, then joined and worked in one piece to the underarms.
Stitches for the back are then picked up from the CO-row of each front, casting on additional stitches for the back neck. Back is then worked in one piece to the same length as the front.
Front and back are then joined at the underarms and the body is worked in the round to the beginning of the hem ribbing. From there front and back are worked separately again, creating side slits and a slightly elongated back hem.
Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round. Stitches for the ribbed collar are picked up around the neck opening and the collar is worked in the round as well.
