Storm Sweater - Paper

The Storm Sweater is knitted from the top down in a textured knit. First, the back piece is knitted, which is shaped with shortened needles (reversible needles) to create a shoulder slope. Then, stitches are picked up for the shoulders, which are gathered at the front to form the front piece. The front and back piece are gathered under the armhole to form the body, which is knitted straight down. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. A rib edge is knitted at the neck, which is folded and knitted down. The Storm Sweater is knitted in a textured knit that consists of four different pattern segments.

Knit a swatch before you start knitting to measure the knitting tension – please note that the knitting tension in both height and width must be correct to achieve the measurements stated on the front.
