Cosmopolitan

Cosmopolitan sweater is a part of my “Just for Me! series and an adult version of the children's Modern Pixie Sweater design.

This sweater features a simple, yet stylish collar/cowl, big colorful stripes, and a very simple silhouette.The design gives you plenty of room to be creative with your colors – make it in a solid color, variegated, big two tone stripes, lots of random stripes, the sky is the limit.

Cosmopolitan is worked from the top down and is completely seamless. I have used an amazing technique developed by Susie Myers, “contiguous set-in sleeves", that allows shoulder shaping without using short rows.

Gauge: 17 sts and 22 rows = 10 cm/4 inches in stockinette stitch with 5.5 mm/US #9 needles or size to obtain gauge.
