KIM V-Neck Jumper

The KIM V-Neck Jumper is a casual sweater with a subtle V-neck and integrated sleeves. The shoulder-and-sleeve area is shaped with short rows, giving the jumper its great fit and distinctive cut.

Description

The KIM V-Neck Jumper is a relaxed V-neck sweater with integrated sleeves, meaning the sleeves are worked directly as part of both the back and the front.

Short rows are worked across the entire width of the shoulders and sleeves at the beginning, which gives the jumper its excellent fit and unique shape.

First, the right and left back front bands are worked and then placed on hold. Next, the back is worked onto the long edge of the band and, after shaping the shoulder/sleeve slopes, it is worked straight down to the armholes.

Then the left and right fronts are worked one after the other, separately. The stitches of the held band are integrated into the respective front, and the short rows are repeated in reverse to mirror the back. Increases for the V-neck are worked on the fronts, and once the V-neck depth is reached, both fronts are joined and then also worked down to the armholes.

The sleeves are closed using Kitchener stitch (grafting). Afterwards, the body is continued in the round to the end, with a few decreases to create a nice curve under the sleeves.

The hem is finished with an I-cord bind-off. Thanks to special edge stitches, the raw edges at the sleeve openings and at the V-neck do not require an I-cord edging.

The detailed pattern is written row by row.
