32015 Triplet Sweater (e-pattern)

$8.95

Skill Level: Intermediate Knitting

The sweater is knitted flat in two separate pieces – back and front – beginning with a variation on twisted rib for the lower band and increasing out for short sleeves.

Short rows shape the extended sleeve and shoulders, and the back and front are joined using a three-needle cast-off. The back piece has shallow neck shaping and the front piece a standard crew neck shape. The armhole bands and neckband stitches are picked up and worked in the round in twisted rib.

It can be worn as a separate piece or layered over a long-sleeved top or shirt.
