Storm Sweater Woman - Petite Knit

Bold texture, relaxed fit, and a construction that rewards every stitch. The Storm Sweater by PetiteKnit is a top-down sweater worked in a four-segment texture pattern that gives the finished garment its striking, tactile character. With generous positive ease and a beautifully structured yoke, this is a sweater designed to be worn and loved for years.

The back yoke is shaped with short rows for a natural shoulder slope, sleeves are worked in the round, and the neck is finished with a folded double rib edge for a clean, professional result. Both stitch and row gauge must be correct — knit your swatch using the chart in the pattern, and wash and block it before measuring.

Difficulty: ★★★★ (4 out of 5) — suitable for experienced knitters comfortable with texture charts and top-down construction.

Yarn: Substitute with any DK / 8 ply yarn.
