Check out my video where I chat about the April Sweater!

Knit a little springtime into your wardrobe!

The April sweater is the perfect lightweight layer for breezy mornings and golden afternoons. Easy to style, fun to knit - you’ll reach for it all season long!

SKILL LEVEL - INTERMEDIATE

KNITTING SWEATER CONSTRUCTION
This sweater is knitted in the round from the bottom up with a yoke design that has raglan shaping for the decreases at the arms. The sleeve stitches are increased after the cuff and are knitted using the magic loop method. Part of the yoke is also knitted using this method when fewer stitches are on the needle.

I would suggest this knitting pattern is best suited for knitters who have had some experience of knitting in the round and have some experience of joining the body to the sleeves and knitting a yoke.
