Squares Sweater

Squares is a classic casual sweater. The surplice V-neck and collar give it an old-fashioned and vintage look. The squares pattern and melange thread create elegant contrasting motifs.

Workflow

First the body is worked in the round from the bottom up to the arm holes. Then the front and back are worked separately. The Wrap & Turn short rows technique is used to shape the shoulders. For the sleeves, stitches are picked up and knitted along the armholes and then are worked down from there. For the collar, stitches are picked up and knitted along the neck line.
