Esther Sweater | PetiteKnit Printed Knitting Pattern

Esther Sweater is worked from the top down in a texture pattern. First the back yoke is worked back and forth with increases. Then the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke. The shoulders are then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked straight down in the round. The sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. A rib edge is worked along the neck edge.
