Knitting Kit - Ripple Loop Sweater by Other Loops_

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

Pattern available in French and English.

The RIPPLE_LOOP_SWEATER features a loose and relaxed fit. It is distinguished by an original rib structure and a soft ripple effect created with dropped stitches. This texture gives the sweater a lot of movement as well as a very beautiful drape.

The sweater is knitted from top to bottom. You start by working the back flat, making short rows while establishing the rib pattern. Once the short rows are finished, the work continues with the dropped stitch pattern, then increases are made to form the armholes.

The shoulders are then worked separately. Here too, short rows are made at the same time as the rib pattern. The dropped stitch pattern then continues while increases are made to form the neckline. The two front parts are joined and worked together before making the increases for the armholes.

The front and back are then joined and the body is knitted in the round.

For the sleeves, stitches are picked up around the armholes, then the sleeves are knitted in the round in the same characteristic dropped stitch pattern.

The neckband is worked in rib and ends with 4 rounds of double knitting, followed by an Italian bind-off.
