This top down, seamlessly worked sweater has an ingenious set-in sleeve construction, and subtle waist shaping. It also features a ruched sleeve detail and ruching at the hem, which gives it a shirtwaist look at the bottom.
This sweater is worked seamlessly in one piece from the collar down, but unlike the raglans you may be familiar with, this sweater features a flattering capped sleeve. Some techniques may be unfamiliar to you, but are clearly explained in the body of the pattern. You will use short row shaping over the first few inches to shape the front neck. The shoulders are created using the contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers, SusieM on Ravelry.
The decorative ruching on the body and sleeve is created after the knitting is complete by dropping stitches then chaining them up. A video tutorial link of this process is provided in the pattern.
This sweater is designed to be worn with 0-1 inch (0-2.5 cm) of negative ease. The narrowest point of the sweater should hit at the natural waist. Sweater is shown in 36 inch finished size on a 36 inch bust.
