Wednesday Sweater - PetiteKnit Knitting Pattern - German

The Wednesday Sweater is worked from the top down. First, the upper part of the back is worked flat, while at the same time, shoulder shaping is created with short rows for a good fit. Then, the shoulders are worked separately flat on a circular needle before being joined to form the front. The front and back are then joined to form the body, which is worked in the round on a circular needle. For the sleeves, stitches are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round on a circular needle using the Magic Loop method or double-pointed needles. The large turtleneck is worked from the picked-up stitches around the neckline in twisted rib stitch. First, knit a swatch to determine the correct needle size for you.
