Holiday Sweater - PetiteKnit Knitting Pattern

The Holiday Sweater is knitted top-down with raglan increases. First, the sweater is worked back and forth on circular needles in rows with increases on both sides to form the neckline. Then, the sweater is worked in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are extra wide and end with a tight-fitting cuff at the wrist. They are knitted in the round using the magic loop method. The neckline is finished with picked-up stitches. Increases and decreases are worked here to ensure the finished edge fits nicely around the neck.
