Short and Sweet Sweater Pattern - Knitting in the Park
By A Mystery Man Writer
Last updated 07 Jun 2024
Now available for download! The short and sweet sweater pattern is now available on Ravelry for digital download. This pattern, much like the name suggests, is a simple and quick sweater pattern. Featuring a raglan neck/shoulder created by strategically placed yarn overs, this pattern is perfect for your first sweater attempt. I’m confident that you’ll do more than just attempt it though. No charts, no complicated instructions. This pattern features simple written instructions that are easy to understand and execute. Get the Pattern on Ravelry. What Makes It So Sweet? At $3 its more affordable than my other sweater options like the Plain Jane. But really it’s the simplicity of this pattern. It’s a stockinette sweater with ribbed collar and cuffs. It’s not fitted or tailored so the body of the sweater is knit in the round. The stockinette makes this pattern perfect for self striping yarns or yarns with really great color definition. Sometimes you just need a pattern that lets a beautiful yarn speak for itself. This is it! This pattern was inspired by Lion Brand’s Ferris Wheel Yarn. I’ve had the Pink Marmalade color-way in my stash for a while now and I just wasn’t able to find the right pattern for it. The colors go from broody to bright and I wanted to really let them speak for themselves. What you’ll need to Knit the Short and Sweet Sweater This sweater pattern calls for 1080-1350 yards of DK or worsted weight yarn. The Ferris wheel is a semi roving type yarn which was interesting to work with and I think will have a fun look over time. Any self striping yarn would look really good in this sweater. For needles, you need two US size 7 circular needles: one 20 inch and one longer. You’ll also need a pair of DPNs in size 7 to knit the sleeves. With sweaters, it’s a good idea to have a bit waste yarn or stitch holders. The stitch holders I use are little plastic and rubber ones I picked up at Joann Fabrics. I think they’re the Clover brand but it’s been a while so I’m not sure. If you don’t have these yet, they’re also a good investment for traveling with your knitting. You have something nonthreatening to put your stitches on if an airline won’t let you bring needles on the plane. You’ll need a few stitch markers to help keep track of where to make your increases. I recommend 9 total. I like to use 8 of one color or type of stitch marker to mark your increases and then a unique one to track the beginning of the next round. If you don’t knit your yarn tails into your projects, you’ll also need a tapestry needle to sew in the ends of your yarn.
