This is a very nice spring/summer short sweater for which I chose a nice tuck stitch pattern. I have no idea what color this cotton yarn is, so I named it “dark dirty rose” :). To be able to knit this sweater you only need a standard knitting machine. This is knitted on the main bed only.
The pdf file for this pattern contains instructions for S, M, L sizes.
It’s ready to download immediately after the purchase.
I have just purchased your Dark Dirty Rose Short Sweater pattern and am amazed at the format it is in. It looks like a computer printout and is amazingly long-winded. I have not come across a tuck stitch pattern which has presented in this kind of format before.
It would have been very useful if you had included measurements for the S, M & L sizes – otherwise I have to decode the pattern to work this out from the tension.
Also, can you tell me approximately how much yarn is required for the S size? This is a pretty fundamental piece of information which is usually included in the pattern!
Some simple sketches of the shape (ideally with some measurements) would also be useful.

Hello Daffie,
I added some of your requirements to the pattern and I sent the file to the email address used at the order.
Thank you for your feedback,
Nico
first off I love your patterns and thank you so much for making them so easily accessible for beginning machine knitters like myself!
I’ve gotten to the part where you put the left shoulder and neckline into holding but im confused about the part of the pattern where you say to decrease 5 stitches, do you mean to put the 5 stitches onto waste yarn, just into hold position or to bind off 5 stitches? I’ve looked around at some other resources and I cannot seem to find anbything that explains how to decrease multiple stitches in a single row unless your binding them off or doing short rows.
Could you clairfy what technique you intended to be used for that portion of the pattern? For refrence im using the size large pattern and the patterns says
When knitting the next row: Dec 5 sts at left, Dec 1 sts at right.

Hi Mary
Thank you for liking my patterns. I am referring to binding off. It’s for the neck shape.
Enjoy knitting it!
Nico
