Plum Line Sweater
About the pattern
The sweater is knitted from the top down and is seamless. The shoulder slope is shaped with short rows. The yoke is worked flat in rows; after the armhole openings the body is continued in rounds and finished with ribbing. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves from the armholes and the sleeves are worked in rounds with decreases to shape the sleeve taper. The sweater is in stockinette stitch with garter-stitch stripes in the contrasting yarn.
