Laura Sweater
PDF PATTERN
Laura is the perfect everyday sweater. It is worked seamlessly top-down. The pattern includes options to work a folded or simple neckband. Then, a series of increases are worked along the yoke until the sleeves and body are divided. The body is worked in the round to the hem. The sleeves are worked from top to bottom and there are two options, too (puffed or regular sleeves).
This is a very easy and quick knit and therefore it is suitable for beginners. However, it is important to emphasize that what you are holding in your hands now is a pattern and not a tutorial. These instructions are written assuming that you are already familiar with the terminology and conventional format of a knitting pattern.
