Scallop Sweater Knitting Pattern

Make a Sweater Worth Wearing All Season

You finally want to knit a sweater that doesn't just sit in your wardrobe. One with a detail you'd notice if someone else walked in wearing it.

The scalloped hem and box-pleat cuffs give this sweater a finished look that's hard to place as handmade. The relaxed fit does the rest.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Chest 103–143 cm / 40.5–56.3 inches (blocked), sizes XS–3XL. Total length 56–62 cm / 22–24.4 inches.

• Seven sizes from XS to 3XL, with full blocked measurements for each, so you can choose your size with confidence before casting on
• The top-down construction means you work through one clear section at a time, with no seaming and no guessing about fit until it's too late
• Scalloped edges at the hem and sleeves plus i-cord ties at the cuffs make it look finished and considered without adding complexity to the body

       "I've been wanting a sweater with some personality to it. This was exactly that."
