This slightly drop-shoulder top-down sweater is knitted seamlessly starting from the neckline with the upper body, saddle shoulders, and sleeves all knitted and shaped simultaneously.

In contrast to the simple stockinette stitches on the body, the sleeves are knitted with a beautiful lace cable pattern to elevate the texture of the jumper.

The sample sweater used The 12ply Petite Wool from We Are Knitter but any yarn & color would equally suit this sweater.

This is a wonderful knitting project for an intermediate knitter or a beginner who with some experiences and wants a challenge to knit a top down saddle shoulder sweater.

The pattern also provides instructions for both crop version and classic body length with short hem.

The pattern is written in American English term with step-by-step instruction, schematic, knitting charts and short row illustration diagram.
