Oslo Sweater | PetiteKnit Printed Knitting Pattern
Oslo Sweater | PetiteKnit Printed Knitting Pattern
The Oslo Sweater is worked from the top down. Firstly, the back yoke is worked back and forth on a circular needle, first with increases at both ends of the needle and then straight with no increases. Then, stitches are picked up and knitted for the shoulders and these are first worked separately and then joined to form the front yoke. Back and front are joined at the bottom of the armholes to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle and shaped with decreases. Sleeves and neck edge are worked from stitches which are picked up and knitted at the end.
