Sentinel Sweater [Digital Knitting Pattern]
Sentinel Sweater is named for my kittens, Higgs and Boson, who stood (lounged) sentinel nearby while I knit, frogged, and re-knit the sweater in search of the perfect 2x2 ribbed design.
The sweater is constructed from the top down with drop sleeves and german short row shaping to create the perfect shoulder slope. The shoulders are knit back and forth before being connected in the round to form the body. The sleeves are picked up in the round at the shoulders, and the folded collar is picked up in the round at the neckline.
This pattern is written for advanced knitters and was designed using a strand of Berrocco Ultra Wool yarn (100g/200m) held together with a strand of Berroco Aerial Silk Mohair (25g/260m) on 5mm needles. Substitutions are welcome, but be sure to check gauge!
