Perfectly Knotted

The Campus Crew Neck is a DK weight sweater with thick two colour stripes inspired by rugby jerseys/varsity stripes. It has a crew style neckline with a picked up collar, and is worked top down (flat for the armhole shaping, then in the round for the remainder of the body and sleeves) with a sloped drop shoulder construction. The yoke section is worked at a smaller stitch count than the full bust, and has some increases at the bottom, and some armpit cast on stitches to increase to the full bust measurement. The sleeves have a small amount of short row shaping at the top before working straight. The collar, cuffs and bottom edge have a 2x2 ribbed hem. The sweater is designed to fall to a high hip level. The pattern is intended to be a boxy fit, but has options for waist shaping if desired, as well as adjusting length as needed for the body and sleeves. This is a size inclusive design, written for 11 sizes (32-72 inch / 80-180 cm finished bust, in 4 inch / 10 cm increments) and designed for 4-8 inches / 10-20 cm of positive ease.
