Drop Shoulder Striped Sweater Knitting Pattern | Springs Lane Pullover

Feb 2

This pattern is part of my pattern library bundle, which includes over 30 knitting patterns.

The Springs Lane Pullover is a simple drop shoulder sweater worked from the top down with a simple striping pattern and 1x1 rib for the sleeve cuffs, body ribbing, and collar. You’ll cast on stitches for the top of the back, work increases to shape the shoulder, and knit straight for the back armhole. You’ll pick up stitches for the left and right fronts, make increases to shape the neckline, and then join the left and right fronts with cast on stitches. You‘ll work the front straight, cast on stitches at the underarms to join the front and back, and then knit the body straight. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves and worked in the round. The folded over collar is worked by picking up stitches along the neckline.
