2026–14 Deep Blue Swipe—when I saw this sweater, I really liked it; it’s simple and elegant. Knit

14 Dark Blue While browsing, I came across this sweater and really liked it—it's simple yet elegant. Here's how I knitted it: Cast on 109 stitches using 3.5mm needles, begin with a single ribbed border followed by plain knit. Knit two rows of hollow ribbing, alternating knit and purl stitches; keep five edge stitches as hollow ribbing, while the rest continue in plain knit for six more rows. At 4.5mm needles, switch to plain knitting and increase stitches in a 2-1-29 pattern. Divide the stitches into sections: 17-1-15-1-41. For the body, use a single knit stitch. Simultaneously make decreases: 2-4-1, 2-2-3, and 2-1-1, repeating this process five times. After completing the decreases, add 2-1-4 increases at the neckline, then join all stitches into a circular round. Once the increases are done, cast on 75 stitches for the sleeves, 11 stitches under the arms, and 99 stitches for the front and back pieces. Finally, decrease stitches along the sleeves in a 6-1-3 pattern, finishing with another 16 rows of single ribbing. Yarn used: 520 grams of dark blue flat cotton yarn. Bust measurement: 56 cm; garment length: 58 cm.
