It’s Sweater Day and as promised here’s the tutorial on the high neck sweater made specifically for this occasion. A high neck slightly oversized sweater. Soft and warm to face even the coldest season, so much so that perhaps you'll even resist the urge to turn up the heating. Being fashionable whilst respecting our environment at the same time!
MATERIALS
Cyrcus yarn col. Amber 210 g / 7.4 oz
Cyrcus yarn col. Dancer 170 g / 6 oz
Sierra yarn col. Mist 110 g / 3.9 oz
Knitting needles n° 10 EU / 15 US
Knitting needles n° 12 EU / 17 US
Wool needle
4 stitch markers
COLOR COMBINATIONS
All the color combinations are worked in rows of 2:
combination 1: 2 rows of Cyrcus col. Amber
combination 2: 1 row of Cyrcus col. Ambra + 1 row of Sierra col. Mist
combination 3: 1 row of Sierra col. Mist + 1 row of Cyrcus col. Dancer
combination 4: 2 rows of Cyrcus col. Dancer
N.B.
Alternate combinations 2, 3 and 4 every 20 rows. Combination 1, as well as being the one with which the work has begun (rib stitch), work the stockinette stitch for another 10 rows.
Continue with the stockinette stitch for 24 rows.
Now, the shaping of the shoulders:
row 1: *knit together the first 3 stitches of the row and knit the rest
row 2: knit together the first 3 stitches of the row and purl the rest*
Repeat from * to * you’re left with 20 stitches.
At this point move on to the neck and work 35 rows.
Work as for the back, but work the initial rib stitch for 6 rows only.
From the 11th row work the stockinette stitch and continue for the rest of the sleeve.
Row 11: work the first selvage and double all the stitches apart from the last one (selvage) to get 34 stitches on the hook
row 12: purl
row 13: change colour – continue working the stockinette stitch with combination 2 until the 32nd row
row 14: decrease a stitch on each side then keep decreasing a stich every 12 rows until you’ve got 30 stitches
row 33: change colour to combination 3 for a total of 15 rows.
Bind off.
The super cozy high neck is ready, but watch out, it’s addictive! If, however, you want to dress to impress with a pure wool sweater, we suggest reading our tutorial on how to make a sweater with a lobster-claw cable and bobble motif.
