Knitting Pattern | RUTH Sweater

Ruth is an oversized, reversible, two coloured brioche sweater, that is worked seamlessly from the top down. This sweater has a double knitted stripe which continuously runs along the shoulder line and down the sleeve length.
You can choose between working the 1x1 rib stitch crew neckline either to be folded down for a double neckline using a provisional cast on or leave it plain. The shoulders are formed using a saddle shoulder construction. The front and back of the armholes are then knitted flat separately and joined back together in the round. Optional waist shaping can be included. The body is then knitted and finished with a 1x1 ribbed hem. Stitches are picked up around the armhole, where the sleeve is knitted without any shaping and finished off with a 1x1 rib stitch cuff.
