Ingrid Sweater Baby - Paper

Ingrid Sweater Baby is knitted from the top down in 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 the front piece. The front and back pieces 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. Ingrid Sweater Baby is knitted with textured knit that consists of three different pattern segments. Between each of these, a segment with a lace pattern is knitted.

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