Holiday Sweater Junior - PetiteKnit knitting pattern

The Holiday Pullunder Junior is a chunky knit pullover with a deep armhole, worked top down in stockinette stitch. The back is worked first, then the shoulders and front, and finally the body. A two-part ribbed edge is knitted at the bottom of the body, with the edge longer on the back than on the front. Finally, ribbing is knitted along the neckline and around the armholes, cast off using the Italian method, as this produces the neatest finish.

Before you begin knitting, make a gauge swatch. Remember to knit with three strands at a time (two strands of the thicker yarn, one strand of silk mohair).
