This vintage-inspired sweater features a beautiful tailored shoulder, ribbed details across the sleeves and body sides, set-in sleeves, and a little tie at the front to slip in your favorite silk scarf or knitted bandana. It is knit in Helix held double throughout.

First, the back and shoulders are worked flat and shaped with increases to create a tailored shoulder. Then, stitches are picked up for the sleeves, and the rest of the yoke is worked as one. After casting on additional stitches for the neckline and creating the ‘fake knot’ to slip the scarf, the rest of the sweater (both body and sleeves) is worked seamlessly in the round to end.

NEEDLES
— 3.75 mm circular needle, 60, 80, and/or 100 cm for the body (or needle size to obtain gauge).
— 3.25 mm DPNs or circular needle, cable length 40, 60, 80, and/ or 100 cm for the ribbed sections (tieknot, cuff, and neckband).

NOTIONS
Blocking tools, darning needle, removable stitch markers, scrap yarn, and tape measure.

GAUGE
21 sts x 30 rows/rounds = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” in stockinette stitch, on larger needle, after blocking.
For this pattern, achieving both stitch and row/round gauge is essential, since vertical gauge will determine the depth of the armscye and the rhythm of increases.
