PetiteKnit Sunday Sweater Pattern

The Sunday Sweater is worked from the top down. The yoke is worked in rib and shaped with increases. Short rows are worked after the yoke has been completed to raise the back. The body and sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch and finished with rib edges.

Begin by knitting a swatch to determine which needle size will give you the correct gauge in the textured pattern. The swatch can be worked using a chart in the pattern.
