What Is Being Made
The Silver Dollar Cropped Sweater is a modern knitwear design from Epiphany Knitwear featuring a chunky knit turtleneck sweater with a cropped silhouette. This downloadable knitting pattern is designed as a beginner-friendly project, making it accessible to knitters new to sweater construction while delivering a contemporary, stylish finished garment suitable for fall and cooler weather layering.
Difficulty Level and Suitability
Rated as a beginner to easy level knitting pattern, the Silver Dollar Cropped Sweater is an excellent introduction to sweater knitting. The straightforward construction and basic techniques required make this pattern ideal for knitters building their skills while still achieving a polished, wearable result.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
This sweater is constructed primarily using stockinette stitch, the foundational knit stitch that creates the classic smooth V-pattern texture characteristic of modern knitwear. The pattern employs standard sweater construction techniques including working in the round on circular needles for seamless body shaping and utilizing stitch holders to manage live stitches during assembly. The turtleneck construction adds a refined neckline detail that frames the face while providing warmth.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Silver Dollar Cropped Sweater is designed to be worked in Malabrigo Rios, a 100% Superwash Merino Wool yarn in the worsted weight category. The yarn is specified in the color Gris and features a yardage of 192 meters (210 yards) per 100 grams (3.5 ounces). Yarn requirements vary by size: XS/S requires 5 skeins, M/L requires 6 skeins, XL requires 7 skeins, and 2XL/3XL requires 8 skeins. The superwash treatment ensures easy care and durability for regular wear.
Needles and Tools Required
- One pair of size 4 mm (US 6, UK 8) long circular needles or long straight needles
- One pair of size 4 mm (US 6, UK 8) circular needles with a 20-inch (50 cm) cord for working the neckline
- One pair of size 5 mm (US 8, UK 6) long circular needles or long straight needles
- Two stitch holders for managing live stitches
- One large eye tapestry needle for finishing and weaving in ends
Gauge and Blocking
The pattern specifies a gauge of 16 stitches and 26 rows over 4 inches by 4 inches (10 cm by 10 cm) when worked in stockinette stitch with the larger needles after blocking. Achieving proper gauge is essential for obtaining the correct finished measurements, and knitters are advised to adjust needle size if necessary to match this gauge specification before beginning the main body of the sweater.
Design Features
The Silver Dollar Cropped Sweater combines chunky knit texture with a modern turtleneck design, creating a contemporary silhouette perfect for layering during cooler seasons. The cropped length and fitted construction offer a flattering, up-to-date aesthetic while the turtleneck provides both style and practical warmth for transitional weather and casual wear.
