  • This is a PDF knitting pattern.

    The yoke of this top-down sweater is knit flat with garter stitch yoke shaping in the main color. The body continues in the round with reverse stockinette stitch to show off the purl bumps. A contrast color sleeve is knit with raglan shaping and joined to the main color yoke while you knit it for a seamless join. Optional thumbholes create a cozy sleeve cuff and short rows raise the ribbed collar for a stylish stream-lined fit.

    Choose worsted or aran weight yarn to knit this unique Westknits sweater named after Monsieur Plastique, my fabulous friend and makeup artist in the photos.

    positive ease.
