Knitted Sweater Pattern (Free in XS-XXL)

Lacy Knitted Sweater Pattern by Knitcroaddict

Ok, some of you will be disappointed that there’s no video tutorial for this knitted sweater pattern, and I hope you’ll forgive, but I can’t quite knit enough to make two garments at the moment. Yes, for every video tutorial I have to make the garment twice. Once to design it and once to demonstrate it.

My hands are still recovering slowly but I’m still staying busy. I made this knitted sweater for fun but I couldn’t resist writing a pattern for it while I did. I just had to share with everyone, I can’t help myself.

Loving my knitted sweater, it's so comfy and fashionable.

For this knitted sweater pattern, I used Ice Yarn Organic Baby Cotton. I’ve used it in many patterns before and I’m sure some of you will recognize it. It’s one of my absolute favorite yarns to use. Great feel and texture, easy to work with. It has a great look and drape, and I love that it’s organic cotton.

Join all the pieces together

Sew the back and front panels together

Take the back and front panels, place them with the correct side facing down, we’ll sew in the wrong side using the tail that we left earlier. Sew 26( 31, 35, 40, 44, 49 ) st of the front and back panel together at the shoulder seam. Use which ever method you prefer to sew (Both sides are sewn the same), if you’d like a smaller or bigger neck hole, you can sew more or less stitches from the shoulder seam. Just make sure both sides are even and the same number of stitches. (Check picture below)

Sew the sleeves to the main panel

With your main panel correct side facing down. Place your sleeves correct side facing down and start sewing on the wrong side with your tail again. The shoulder seam of the main panel should be in the middle of the sleeves panel and even on both sides. (Check picture below)

Sew the sweater together

Fold your sweater in half at the shoulder seam with the correct sides facing each other. Cut a new strand of yarn 60-70″ long, enough to sew the side and the sleeve. Start sewing from the bottom up to the side seam until you reach the armpit and continue sewing the sleeve side seam all the way till the end, then weave all the ends (Check picture below)
