“THIS SHORT-SLEEVE sweater has a close fit for that vintage ‘Sweater Girl’ look,” says designer Mary Henderson. “The body has a Fair Isle pattern, and is paired with plain, solid colour sleeves. Please check your tension: your tension when knitting in rounds can be different from that when knitting the Fair Isle or plain stocking stitch in rows, which tends to be looser than Fair Isle knitted in the round.”

Special attention should be paid to tension because the sweater is knitted bottom up and in the round to the armholes where it is divided for front and back. The colourwork pattern continues to be worked flat with armhole and neck shaping. The sleeves are also worked bottom up, in the round and then the sleeve cap is worked flat.
