Cloud Sweater - PetiteKnit knitting pattern

The Cloud Sweater is worked from the top down. First, the upper part of the back is worked in rows, while the shoulder slant is formed with short rows. Then, both shoulders are worked separately in rows, also using short rows. The shoulder sections are then joined to form the front. The front and back are then joined to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are worked in the round on circular needles using picked-up stitches around the armholes. The stockinette stitch collar is made from picked-up stitches at the neckline.

First, knit a gauge swatch to determine the right needle size for you.
