Top-Down Sweater in Big Cotton
Top-Down Sweater in Big Cotton is knit from the top-down and in the round with straightforward raglan shaping. The stockinette and raglan rhythm makes these styles joyful (and quick!) to knit - as well as accessible to a wide range of knitting levels! Since you are knitting top down you can easily adjust the length of the top and sleeves to fit your needs.
Pattern Level: Intermediate
Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X/3X)
Materials:
- 8 (9, 10, 11, 12, 13) balls of Loopy Mango Big Cotton Yarn 48 yds 43 m | 100 g 3.5 oz each, 100% cotton
- Size US 17 (12 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm) in length
- Size US 19 (15 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm) in length
Note: This patterns requires US 19 (15 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm) and US 17 (12 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm). For the neck you will need to use magic loop method when using size US 17 (12 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm). To avoid magic loop you will need to use an additional set of size US 17 (12 mm) 20’’ (50 cm) circular needles or US 17 (12 mm) double pointed needles (DPNs).
Gauge: Stockinette on size US 19: 6.5 sts/4”, 10 rows/4” (this sweater is knit in the round so your gauge swatch should also be knit in the round - usually knitting stockinette stitch in the round results in tighter tension since there are no purl rows).
