Cold Shoulder | Off the Shoulder Sweater Knitting Pattern

£12.50

So often, patterns dictate their terms, leaving us to compromise on fit or design. But with the Cold Shoulder Sweater, you’re in control. Consider this your invitation to craft a beautiful, lightweight garment that truly flatters your shape and celebrates your confidence.

Imagine slipping into a sweater that feels wonderfully soft, offers just the right amount of warmth without bulk, and effortlessly highlights your best features. The Cold Shoulder Sweater delivers exactly that. It’s an elegant lace ribbed design that offers incredible versatility.

Choose between a sophisticated off-the-shoulder/asymmetric neckline that adds a touch of allure, or opt for a classic scoop neckline to keep both shoulders warm – it’s truly two patterns in one!

You’ll love knitting the delicate flattering lace panels and the charming eyelet detail that flows from the ribbed welt up into the body and onto the set-in sleeves. And because your vision matters, I’ve even included instructions to convert the lace leaf panels to stocking stitch for a simpler, yet still stunning, look.

With 6 dual sizes and comprehensive fitting guidance and customization notes, you’ll have everything you need to achieve that perfect fit. Whether you choose to work with a luxurious combination of laceweight/4ply yarns, or opt for a single strand for a more delicate feel, this pattern empowers you to create a piece that drapes beautifully and feels like a second skin.

The moment you put on your finished Cold Shoulder Sweater, you’ll feel that familiar surge of pride and accomplishment after finishing a knitting project. It’s a testament to your skills, your creativity, and your commitment to wearing clothes that make you feel truly yourself. This isn’t just a sweater; it’s a statement of effortless elegance, custom-made by you, for you.

Description

This is an off the shoulder sweater knitting pattern with a touch of glamour!  The Cold Shoulder sweater features a reversible asymmetric neckline and flattering panels of knitted lace.  An eyelet detail grows up into the body from the ribbed welt, and these details are echoed on the set-in sleeves.

This knitting project bobs along nicely on 5mm (US8) needles.  A regular sweater variation is included if you’d prefer to keep both shoulders warm.

Either way, having two patterns in one can only be a good thing!  The Cold Shoulder sweater promises to be a lightweight lace layer that will see you through most of the year.

Yarn and fabrication inspiration for Cold Shoulder

I held the yarn double in order to create a more substantial fabric.  However, for a more delicate look, knit with one strand of either yarn to accentuate the lacy textures. Then again, look at the Icicle legwarmers to see how the lace texture works in a more solid, DK yarn.  You might be surprised!  It’s surprisingly versatile.

If you’d prefer a little more simplicity, you have my blessing to omit the lace leaf panels and convert them to stocking stitch.  You’ll still have the cute eyelet panel, which travels up through the rib, as a pretty detail.

Sizing and finishing tips for this off the shoulder sweater pattern

The Cold Shoulder off the shoulder sweater knitting pattern is offered in 6 dual sizes due to the elastic ribbed fabric.  Please look at the spec drawing and measurement table for further details.  Fitting guidance and customisation notes are included to help you get the best fit on this lace ribbed sweater pattern.

For extra drape, you can wet block the knitted pieces with the lace panels slightly stretched, so that the knit and purl columns are of equal width.  Just make sure you do this before knitting the neckband so that your lovely sweater stays put – whether off the shoulder or on both shoulders 😉

Special Techniques for the Cold Shoulder sweater knitting pattern
