Knit Sweater Pattern - Simple Knitted Bodice
SDS-026
Knit Pattern - Not an actual sweater
The easiest sweater you will ever make!
With just advanced beginning skills, make yourself a short-sleeve or long-sleeve garment that looks extravagant and fits your curves perfectly! Worked from the top down in one piece, this sumptuous design requires minimal finishing and features a super-simple lace accent that will make you look like a pro knitter even if this is your first sweater. To ensure a perfect fit, we detail a try-as-you-go construction approach and provide simple shaping techniques. Finally, we feature an accent yarn that has been pre-strung with sequins and beads: just to prove that if you choose the right yarn, it will do most of the work for you.
Wear with a cami underneath or dare to wear nothing underneath at all. Whichever way you wear it, you will be a smart and stylish damsel who used her low-impact efforts to create a super high-impact and sparktacular result.

I haven't finished the pattern yet, so can't give a full review, but it's important to note that the actual gauge of the garment is 20/4", and 28/4" for the detail section. The 18/4" listed in the pattern is just the gauge that's recommended on the label of the featured yarn. So don't do what I did and get a yarn that simply won't knit up nicely at 28/4"!

This was my first sweater, and I have to say I'm proud of it. The pattern was pretty easy to follow. I did think it ended up a bit short, though, so I had to take out the purl ridges at bottom and make it longer. Otherwise, no hitches!

I knitted this up in a lovely purple malabrigio. This sweater is so shapely and flattering. The details are pretty yet subtle. I love my new sweater, it's my first whole sweater I ever knitted for myself! Thanks for making it so simple. Juli B.
