Pattern language

The Mila Sweater is a classic sweater with a modified saddle shoulder construction. Mila is a true comfort knit & will quickly become a favourite piece during the colder months.

Workflow

The sweater is knitted seamlessly from top to bottom. First the back panel is worked back and forth, with increases in every row to shape the shoulders. Stitches are then picked up from the cast-on edge for the left shoulder, followed by the right shoulder, whilst shaping the neck. The left and right fronts are then joined together and worked further back and forth. Once completed, the front and back are joined. From that point on, the body is knitted in the round. There are a couple of options included in the pattern regarding the length of the body & style of hem:

Normal length - NO waist shaping

Normal length - WITH waist shaping

Long length - NO waist shaping

Hem WITHOUT splits on the sides (normal length or long length)

Hem WITH splits on the sides (normal length or long length)

Stitches are bound off using the ‘Ruke cast off’ method. Sleeve stitches are then picked up around the armhole opening and worked in the round. German short rows are used to shape the sleeves at the top. Again, you can choose to make the sleeves with or without sleeve shaping. In a last step, stitches are picked up along the neck edge. All ribbing, including the collar, is worked in a double twisted rib 2x1. As a ‘finishing touch’, the neck has a couple of rounds in stockinette stitch, which result in a curled up detail. The stitches of the neck are bound off using the ‘lace bind off technique’.
