Knitting Pattern in English for an Oversize-Sweater with Drop Shoulders and a Wide and Airy Fit in Sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL | 5XL.


Structure:

The sweater is worked in stockinette stitch top down in one piece: First, the back part is worked back and forth in rows. Then, stitches along the cast-on-row of the back part are picked up for the right and left front part. The front parts are first worked separately while shaping the round neck. Then, the two front parts are joined along the round neck and the front part is finished in one piece until it’s joined with the back part by casting on new stitches under each armpit. The body is worked in one piece now and in stockinette stitch in the round. The body stitches are then bound off with hem in 1x1 half twisted ribbing (with twisted knit stitches). Afterwards, stitches for the sleeves are picked up directly out of the body along the armholes and the sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch in the round. Shortly before the sleeves are finished, you will work a bunch of decreases for a balloon-like shape and then the cuffs are worked in 1x1 half twisted ribbing as well. Last, but not least, a collar in 1x1 half twisted ribbing is attached to the neckline to match the hem and cuffs.

The fit of the sweater is loose, airy and oversized. The combination of a lace weight yarn with a bigger gauge creates a holey, summery and breezy look. The cuffs, hem and collar are worked with 2 strands of yarn held together to create an interesting contrast in comparison to the light and shiny fabric of body and sleeves. The sweater is the perfect companion for warm summer evenings in combination with a top, a dress or just over a bikini to go to the beach.
