This spunky design grew from Ryan Cardigan and reminds me of my cheeky sister, Joey, who modeled it. Ryan is one of my first sweater designs and a closet essential. Joey Sweater is the sassy girl version of a classic. It features a deep v-neck (show some skin or layer it) with a hi-lo side split hem, an exposed zipper, and waist shaping to accentuate curves. The ribbed fabric provides a forgiving fit.

Pattern Notes

• Bottom-up construction
• Raglan-style seamless sleeves
• Each hem is worked separately, then joined to work in the round.
• Top of the sweater is worked in pieces to create the splits for the neckline and zipper.
