Top Down Sweater Knitting Pattern
The Southern Coastline Pullover is a classic top down raglan sweater with a folded over statement collar. It’s roomy and has cozy, long ribbed cuffs. Its construction makes it easy to modify as you knit. The collar is worked first, folded over and knitted together at the top and bottom to create the double collar. The pattern includes instructions for optional short row shaping to create a dropped neckline if desired. Feel free to adjust body length, arm length and the number of raglan increases to change the body and arm width.
Size Guide + Finished Measurements
The pullover is written in eight sizes, 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), with a finished bust size of 38.5 (40.5, 42.5, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53.5) in/97.5 (103, 108.5, 114, 119, 124.5, 130, 135.5) cm. The pullover is intended to have about 6-8 in/15-20.5 cm of positive ease so pick a size that will provide the intended ease or adjust to your desired ease. For example, if you have a 36 in/91.5 cm bust, a size 3 would be ideal for about 6.5 in/16.5 cm of ease. If you’d like the sweater to fit a bit tighter, go down a size. Feel free to adjust body length and armhole depth as desired. You can try on the pullover as you go.
