Step-by-Step Instructions

Back Panel

  1. Begin by casting on 48 stitches using your US 15 (10mm) knitting needles.
  2. Work in seed stitch for 4 inches. (Seed stitch is created by alternating knit and purl stitches: Row 1: *K1, P1* to end; Row 2: *P1, K1* to end.)
  3. After completing the seed stitch, switch to stockinette stitch (knit every row) and continue until the piece measures 24 inches from the cast-on edge.
  4. Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches.

Front Panel

  1. Cast on 48 stitches again.
  2. Work in seed stitch for 4 inches.
  3. Now switch to a wave pattern as follows:
    • Row 1: *K2, P2* to end.
    • Row 2: *P2, K2* to end.
  4. Repeat these two rows for 20 inches.
  5. To shape the neckline, bind off the center 12 stitches.
  6. Continue working each side separately, decreasing 1 stitch at the neck edge every row until you have 10 stitches remaining on each side.
  7. Bind off all remaining stitches.

Sleeves

  1. For each sleeve, cast on 24 stitches.
  2. Work in seed stitch for 4 inches.
  3. Switch to stockinette stitch and increase 1 stitch at each end every 6th row until you have 40 stitches.
  4. Continue knitting until the sleeve measures 18 inches.
  5. Bind off all stitches.

Assembly

  1. Sew the shoulder seams of the back and front panels together.
  2. Attach the sleeves to the armholes.
  3. Sew the side seams of the sweater.
  4. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a neat finish.
