PetiteKnit Saga Sweater knitting pattern

PetiteKnit Saga Sweater is a stylish and detailed women's sweater pattern perfect for knitters seeking a challenge.

The pattern is a high-quality A5 print magazine in Finnish.

The Saga Sweater is knitted from the top down in a textured pattern. First, the upper part of the back piece is knitted flat, shaped with increases. Then, the shoulders are knitted by picking up stitches from the back piece. The pieces are joined and knitted in the round, and stitches are picked up from the armholes for the sleeves. The yoke is finished by knitting in the round with raglan increases. The body and sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles. Finally, the neckband is knitted in ribbing.
First, make a swatch to determine the correct needle size. Make your swatch according to the chart on page 16.
