Knitting pattern for Sharpei Sweater, designed by Créadia Studio
Sharpei Sweater is a soft and expressive, slightly 'cropped' sweater, made up of horizontally knitted pleats.
The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. First, the body is knitted in the round on circular needles until you reach the desired length, and then divided into front and back pieces. These are worked separately, back and forth on the needle at the same time as the neckline is shaped. The shoulders are sewn together.
The sleeves are knitted with increases to create a balloon effect and are finally sewn on to the body.
