Every wardrobe needs one sweater you reach for without thinking. The Go-to Sweater is a relaxed-fit, seamless top-down knitting pattern with a v-neck, boxy sleeves, and short-row shoulder shaping for a clean, set-in look. Side slits give it easy movement. The basic that never goes out of style.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. You start with the back piece before picking up stitches for each shoulder. The shoulders are knitted with short rows and increases to shape the v-neck. Then the shoulders are joined with the back piece, and the rest of the neckline is shaped. Afterwards, the sweater is joined and the body is knitted in the round. The slits are worked back and forth in ribbing. The sleeves are worked top down by picking up stitches.
