The Aros Sweater is a beautifully constructed top-down design featuring elegant shoulder shaping and classic raglan construction. Worked seamlessly in the round from the yoke down, this versatile pattern offers endless creative possibilities with its signature seven-color stripe design—or knit it in a single shade for timeless simplicity.
Construction & Technique
The yoke begins flat with neckline shaping, then joins to work in the round. Shoulder increases on both right and wrong side rows create a flattering fit, followed by sleeve-only increases and classic raglan shaping. The ribbed neckband is picked up and folded for a polished finish. Sleeves are worked in the round using DPNs or Magic Loop.
Versatility
Designed with approximately 5 cm [2 inches] of positive ease for a relaxed, comfortable fit. Customize your stripe palette with seven colors, fewer colors, or work it in a single shade. Extend the body to dress length for an entirely new silhouette.
