Formation Sweater Junior English

Formation Sweater Junior Knitting Pattern (English)

Formation Sweater Junior is a model with a generous fit, attached sleeves and wide ribbing. The pattern is created by a mock honeycomb stitch.

The model is worked top down. Starting with the neck line by knitting back and forth and simultaneously increasing the stitch count by both the shoulder stitch and towards the neckline. Continued by working in the round until all shoulder increases are made. Then the work is divided in front- and back piece, so that the armholes are shaped on both sides. After the armhole the work is joined again, worked in the round and finished with ribbing. The sleeves are worked top down. Stitches are picked up along the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round with decreases underneath the arm. The sleeves are finished with ribbing. The ribbing by the neckline is folded double which gives a lovely finish.
