The Westwood sweater is inspired by long spring and summer walks on “The Westwood” in my hometown of Beverley, UK. Knitted top down in the round with short row shaping at the neck before working the colour work on the hem. Designed to be worn cropped and with ¾ sleeves to keep you just warm enough during our British summers. As the sweater is worked top down you can of course alter the body and sleeve length to suit your own style.

This pattern uses German short rows to shape the neckline.

Choosing your size and fit:

The stated measurements are the actual final garment measurements, with no ease. Choose a size with 1-4” / 2.5-10cm positive ease depending on the fit you want to achieve. To select a size, take your bust measurement and add your chosen amount of ease.

The pattern is designed for a cropped length with ¾ length sleeves, if you wish to make full length sleeves and body, continue working sleeves and body to the desired length. Take into account the extra yardage required in the MC.
