Construction
The Mini Melty Sweater is worked from the top down in circular knitting. You will start by knitting the collar in 1x1 rib stitch, then you will fold it and close it to form a double collar. You will shape the yoke with German short rows, working in stockinette stitch with Raglan increases until you reach the underarms. You will then divide your work in three to knit the bottom of the body and the sleeves separately.
CONTENT
- The pattern includes detailed written instructions as well as links to tutorials and videos for the most technical steps.
- I have also included a checklist for each size to help you keep track of your progress: you can print it and cross the boxes as you go.
Techniques
Cast-on - knit and purl - Magic Loop - German short rows - increases - decreases - picking up stitches - bind off
