Caryopsis Sweater

NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

The Caryopsis Sweater is a top-down sweater using a technique more used in knitting. I designed this sweater using 2 different yarn weights, with long and short sleeves.

First, you will work the neckline ribbing (Section 1) and then a few short rows to better fit (Section 2). Then you work the raglan, increasing until getting to the desired bust width. (Section 3) This section of the raglan doesn’t include the sleeves’. The armhole depth is worked into the next section (Section 4) in two separated parts, the back and front panel. On the next step, we join back and front panels at the armpit and continue working in the round for the trunk section of the sweater. The sleeves are worked into the armhole. Below you can find a diagram with the top part, from the neckline up to the armpit.
