White Jersey

The White Jersey is a delicate baby sweater constructed in Adriafil Doppio Ritorto 8/3=5 in white no. 02, wound double to create a slightly more substantial fabric from this fine cobweb-weight yarn. The design features a classic set-in sleeve construction with shaped sleeve holes worked by casting off stitches at each end and then decreasing one stitch every two rows until the correct number of stitches remains.

Techniques and Construction

• Set-in sleeves with gradual armhole shaping
• Back opening finished with a neat border and three buttonholes
• Collar sewn inside the neckline for a clean, professional finish
• Shoulder seams and side seams joined during making up
• Neckline and back opening finished with a combination of single crochet and reverse stitch rows
• Three chain buttonholes worked on the right-hand side of the back opening

Pattern Stitches Used

• Cable stitch — worked in a panel arrangement of 5, 12, 5, 5, 12, 5 stitches, adding texture and visual interest to the garment
• 1x1 Rib stitch — a classic alternating knit and purl rib, typically used for welts and cuffs to provide elasticity
• Knitted stitch (stocking stitch / stockinette) — the main body fabric, smooth and even on the right side
• Chain stitch — used as an embroidery or decorative detail, worked with embroidered cotton
• Single crochet (sc) — used to neaten edges and borders
• Reverse stitch — worked like single crochet but from left to right, creating a corded, decorative edging

Tension

The stated tension is 30 stitches and 36 rows to 10 x 10 cm in knitted stitch using knitting needles no. 3. Achieving this tension is important for the garment to fit correctly for the 6 to 9 month age range.
