Womens Slash Neck Long and ¾ Sleeved Sweater in Sirdar Click DK

What is Being Made

This is a women's sweater pattern designed by Sirdar, available in two sleeve length options: a long-sleeved version and a three-quarter sleeved version. The sweater features a distinctive slash neckline and is sized to fit bust measurements from 81/86 cm (32/34 inches) up to 132/137 cm (52/54 inches), making it suitable for a wide range of body sizes. The full length of the garment ranges from 54 cm to 67 cm (21¼ to 26½ inches) depending on the size selected.

Techniques and Construction

This knitting pattern employs standard sweater construction techniques appropriate for DK weight yarn. The slash neckline is a key design feature that distinguishes this garment from traditional crewneck or v-neck sweaters. The pattern is available in multiple sizes with graded measurements, allowing for proper fit across different body dimensions. Sleeve length is adjustable for the long-sleeved version, providing customization options for individual preferences.

Stitches Used
