Knitting Kit - Braidy Loop Sweater by Other Loops_

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry here. 

Pattern available in French and English. 

The BRAIDY_LOOP_SWEATER knitting pattern is designed with a saddle shoulder that extends across the entire width of the back. The shoulder construction is framed by a wide rib structure and elegant twisted details that run down the back and along both sleeves.

The sweater is knitted from the top down in one seamless piece. It begins by casting on stitches at the center back, then knitting back and forth in wide rib with cables: first on the left shoulder, then on the right shoulder. Stitches are then picked up along the front edges of the shoulders and back. Work continues back and forth in the wide rib pattern with cables, while simultaneously increasing for the sleeves and neckline.

The work is then joined in the round by casting on stitches at the front, and the yoke is then knitted in the round on a circular needle. The body and sleeves are separated and knitted individually. The cables continue along the sleeves, which are shaped with a lovely play of decreases before ending with a ribbed edge. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline and the ribbed border is knitted.
