THETYS SWEATER

Thetys Sweater is a top-down raglan sweater with a high neckline and a few different cable patterns. There are fully charted instructions for each size until the sleeve separation, when all stitch patterns are clearly established. All increases are in the charts and are directly incorporated into the design, giving a most beautiful pattern appearance at the raglan seams.

Each size is fully designed, so no filling stitches! I am absolutely convinced that everybody deserves a beautiful sweater that is completely thought through - regardless of sizes! This does mean that every size has it’s own charts, which you can read from the PDF or print at home. If you prefer, there is an online version of the charts including an online progress tracker available as well.

The pattern shows exactly which pages to print for which size (don’t panic, there are many pages, but you will only need a few!). It starts with a written out section for basic pattern understanding, to help you get started.

Thetys is carefully designed, professionally tech edited and tested by over 30 people. However, size 9 & 10 were not well covered in the testing period. If you are interested in knitting one of those sizes and are willing to give me feedback, please write me a message before purchasing!
