Grace Sweater (V-neck)

The sweater is knitted seamlessly from top to bottom. The neck, hem and cuffs are worked in a 1x1 rib stitch. The rest of the sweater is worked in stockinette stitch. Stitches are bound off using the Italian bind off technique. The V-neck is worked by picking up stitches along the neckline.

I’ve made 2 samples using a different type of yarn:

The 1st sample was made using 1 strand of ‘Tweedy’ (noir) from Hedgehog Fibers held together with 1 strand of ‘Lace’ from Lang Yarns, to add a bit of fluff :).

The 2nd sample was made using 2 strands of Tweed Supreme held together (from MAJO Garn).

You could also use all the yarn combos I’ve used for the Grace Sweater with a crew neck, as these 2 sweaters have the same gauge.

The pattern contains a ‘modification option’ for the body: you can choose to work the body straight or with some decreases to get a more tapered shape. And it includes 2 options for the V-neck detail.

Intermediate

XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL

The Grace Sweater V-neck is an oversized sweater with a positive ease of approx. 15 - 16 cm [6 - 6.25 inches] compared to the body bust circumference. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust circumference (of the body) of approx. 74 (84) 94 (104) 114 (124) 134 (144) 155 cm [29.25 (33) 37 (41) 45 (48.75) 52.75 (56.76) 61 inches] respectively. Keep in mind that the final measurements of the sweater already take these extra 15 - 16 cm [6 - 6.25 inches] into account. Ease is a personal preference. Take the necessary measurements to determine the right size for you before you start knitting.
