Off Shoulder Sweater — PDF Knitting Pattern #160

An off-shoulder sweater worked in the round from the hem up, with raw rolled edges and no rib at all. Knitted on 5 mm needles in Scandi Wool. Five sizes fitting bust 82–126 cm. Instant PDF download in English and Swedish.

Leaving off the rib is a deliberate choice here. The hem, cuffs and neckline are all left as knitted, so they curl softly and the whole sweater reads as relaxed rather than tailored — and it means nothing to pick up, nothing to cast off in pattern. The body is worked in the round in one piece to the armholes, markers at each side, then joined with the sleeves for the yoke, so the seaming at the end is minimal. In Scandi Wool it is warm enough for a winter evening and light enough to wear off one shoulder.
