Sprocket Sweater
Digital knitting pattern pdf download
The Sprocket Sweater is a classic fitting top with a not-so-classic striped yoke. Slipped stitches create the sprocket “teeth” colourwork, and are a fun and easy way to change colours while adding some interesting detail to the pattern. The Sweater is knit from the top down and in the round using fingering weight yarn and has folded hems and cuffs to create a very polished finished sweater. This is a great pattern for playing with yarn to create your own unique colour story.
