The Rosée DK sweater is knitted from the top down, also known as «Top down,» in the round for the pullover version, or flat for the cardigan version. It is the ideal pattern for a first top-down piece, absolutely beginner friendly.
The back neckline is raised using short rows. Then, a circular yoke is created with regular increases, followed by picking up the sleeves at the end.
The Rosée DK sweater can be knitted in several versions, making it a versatile pattern that allows for creativity with stripes, embroidery, and both cardigan and pullover styles.
