CONSTRUCTION OF THE SWEATER

The Four Seasons Sweater is worked from the top-down and constructed in sections that are later joined together. You'll begin by casting on stitches for the back yoke and working the back body piece first, creating openings for the sleeves as you go, then placing the back section on hold. Next, stitches are picked up from the back yoke to shape the front piece and form the neckline, which can be worked as either a boat neck or a V-neck, while also leaving space for the sleeves at the front.

After both front and back sections are complete and the sleeve openings are large enough, they're joined together and the sweater is worked in the round until the desired body length is reached. The sleeve stitches are then picked up directly from the created openings and worked in the round until the preferred sleeve length is achieved.


MATERIALS

- 12 MM KNITTING NEEDLES (circular)
- ANY YARN (depending on type of sweater you want)

YARN RECOMMENDATIONS

- You can use any yarn of your choice, such as cotton, wool or acrylic,
- You can combine 2 or 3 strands of different weight yarns to create your unique look for this sweater,
- For a Mesh sweater, I recommend using yarn in a weight up to Light (no. 3) to achieve an open, airy look in the stitches,
- For a Chunky sweater with closed stitches and extra warmth, I recommend using Bulky (no. 5) or Super Bulky (no. 6) yarn,
- To ensure it works well with the 12 mm knitting needles used in this design, I recommend using a yarn no heavier than Bulky (no. 5) or Super Bulky (no. 6) weight when working with a single strand.

e.g. For winter chunky sample sweater I've used single strand of yarn: Bulky (no. 5). I've used Melissa Ribbon in shade 11 (in total approx. 550 m). For summer mesh sample sweater I've used single strand of yarn: Fine (no. 2). I've used Rosários4 Invicta in shade 37. (in total approx. 550 m).
