Stockholm Sweater V-Neck | PetiteKnit Printed Knitting Pattern

The Stockholm Sweater V-neck is worked from the top down in two strands of silk mohair held together. First the back part of the yoke is worked, then stitches are picked up and knitted along the cast-on edge on the back for the shoulders. The front shoulders are worked one at a time with short rows that create a wedge. The front and back parts of the yoke are joined under the underarms after leaving an opening for the armholes and the body is worked in the round on a circular needle from there on. Stitches are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings next and the sleeves are worked down from there on either double-pointed needles or a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. Finally, stitches are picked up and knitted along the neck edge and a rib edge is worked with decorative decreases at the bottom of the V-neck on the first section of the neck edge, and correspondingly with increases on the second section, which is folded to the WS. This neck edge is then folded and sewn to the WS. The Stockholm Sweater V-neck has no finishing other than the folding and sewing of the neck edge.
