KIT Triangles Sweater – Origen

PATTERN – TRIANGLES SWEATER

SKILLS
To knit this sweater you need to know how to knit and purl, to knit in the round, to cast on stitches with any method (although the long-tail cast-on is recom- mended), to make increases (make one right, make one away) and decreases, to pick up stitches, to be familiar with the stranded colourwork technique, and to bind off stitches. An option to elevate the back using short rows at the neckline is included in the pattern. Moreover, it is essential to be able to follow charted instructions, as they are used for the colourwork detail of the yoke and written instructions are not provided.

CONSTRUCTION
This sweater is knit top-down, i.e. it is started to knit at the neckline, and then you will knit the yoke (which is round in shape), separate sleeves from body, and continue knitting the body in the round. It is worked seamlessly, all in one piece. It is worked in stockinette stitch with a colourwork motif at the yoke.
