The actual finished garment measurements range from 70 cm (27½ in) to 121 cm (47¾ in), providing a comfortable, relaxed fit across all sizes. Full length (measured from the back of the neck) ranges from approximately 48 cm (19 in) in the smallest size to 69 cm (27¼ in) in the largest. Sleeve length is listed as adjustable, running from 33 cm (13 in) to 48 cm (19 in) depending on size, giving knitters flexibility to customise the fit further.

Design One: Stand Up Neck Sweater

The Stand Up Neck Sweater is a classic, clean-lined pullover featuring a neat, ribbed stand-up neckline that adds a contemporary, polished finish. This style is ideal for knitters who appreciate understated elegance with a practical, cosy collar that provides extra warmth without the bulk of a full roll neck.

Techniques and Construction

• Flat knitting worked in separate pieces (front, back, and sleeves) and seamed together
• Stocking stitch used for the main body and sleeve fabric, creating a smooth, classic knitted surface
• Rib stitch used for the stand-up neckband, cuffs, and lower body welts, providing elasticity and a neat finish
• Shaping techniques including armhole shaping, neckline shaping, and sleeve cap shaping
• Use of stitch holders to hold live stitches during neckband construction

Design Two: Hooded Sweater

The Hooded Sweater is a relaxed, casual pullover featuring a knitted hood in place of a traditional neckband. This design is perfect for everyday wear, offering a modern, sporty aesthetic that appeals to knitters of all ages. The hood adds both style and practicality, making this an excellent project for cooler seasons.

Techniques and Construction
