This is a lovely pullover sweater that your little one will surely love.
This is definitely a very memorable tutorial for me. All the parts are very simple. However, I focused on knitting the collar to look natural and without gaps. Therefore, I spent a lot of time figuring out this new technique on my own. I probably spent about a year researching the collar, taking it apart and redoing it about 100 times (haha). But honestly, the final result didn’t disappoint me, and I truly love this collar knitting technique. I will definitely use this technique in my future projects. Stay tuned!
Construction:
This is a flat knitting pattern, you will need to knit 4 panels: front panel, back panel and 2 sleeves separately and then sew edges together. But you need to knit the neckline ribbing in the round with short circular knitting needles / double pointed knitting needles or magic loop.
Yarn:
For this design, I used 4 ply Milk Cotton yarn, this is a light DK weight yarn, about 240m to 260m per 100g. You can use any type of light DK yarn from 220m to 280m per 100g. The important thing is your tension can meet the gauge.
Knitting Needles:
I used 3.75mm bamboo straight knitting needles to knit the main part, 2.75mm bamboo straight knitting needles to knit the body ribbing, sleeve ribbing and 2.75mm short circular knitting needles to knit the neckline ribbing.
MATERIALS:
- Yarn: DK/Light Weight (Category #3) (220 – 280 m / 240 – 307 yards per 100g) cotton – acrylic yarn or 4 ply Milk Cotton yarn in two colors: Color 1 (Blue), Color 2 (White)

Leave yarn to sew the sleeve to the armhole (Approx. 2.5X length than the sleeve width) then cut the yarn.
ASSEMBLY:
Shoulders:
With RS facing outwards, place the body panels on top of each other.
Use the yarn left earlier, sew shoulders together using any method (I used Kitchener Stitch).
Body sides:
Sew the body sides together using any method (I used Vertical Matress Stitch), leaving 3.75 (4, 4.5, 5.5, 6) (6.25, 6.5, 7, 7.5) inches or 32 (34, 40, 46, 52) (53, 56, 61, 64) rows at the top for armhole.
Sleeves:
With RS facing outwards, fold your sleeve in half lengthways.
Sew long edges together using any method (I used Vertical Mattress Stitch).
Pin sleeves to the armhole of body.
Use the yarn left earlier, sew sleeves to the body using any method.
(I used Perpendicular Mattress Stitch, *sew 1 St to 1 row, sew 1 St to 2 rows*, Rep * around.)
NECKLINE RIBBING:
Use 2.75 mm short circular knitting needles and with Color 1 yarn. With RS facing out, start from middle part of the back neckline:
– Back Neckline Center: Pick up from each St until last St, pickup 1 St under decreased St.
Tips: For a more natural look, pick up from the middle of the V-shape of each St.
– Left Strap: Pick up 1 St from each row until SM; pick up 1 St from next row, *Sk 1 row, pick up each St from next 3 rows*, Rep * until next SM; pick up 1 St from each row until last row.
Tips:
– Pick up from the middle of the 2nd V-shape of two Sts knitted together.
– Pick up from the middle of the 1st V-shape that is above two Sts knitted together.
– Other strap rows: pick up normally (from 2 strands or from V-shape of 1st St).
Note: After picking up the marked St, you can remove SMs as they are no longer necessary.
– Front Neckline Center: Pickup 1 St under decreased St, pick up from each stitch until last St, pick up 1 St under decreased St.
– Right Strap: Pick up 1 St from each row until next SM; pick up 1 St from next row, *Sk 1 row, pick up each St from next 3 rows*, Rep * until next SM, pick up each St from last 2 rows.
– Back Neckline Center: Pick up 1 St under decreased St, pick up from each St until end.
