Minimal Xmas Sweater

Elevate your holiday wardrobe with our free knitting pattern designed for those who love Christmas and appreciate elegant, minimalist fashion. This stylish sweater is knit from the top down using the raglan technique, perfect for knitters of all skill levels. The project begins with a cozy double border rib collar, followed by the use of short rows to skillfully shape the neck for a comfortable fit. To enhance the sweater’s profile, the sleeve stitches are set aside while you complete the main body, after which they are easily returned to the needle for finishing. The body and cuffs are elegantly finished with a folded hem, adding a polished touch to your creation.

For a festive flair, a delightful Christmas tree is sewn onto the top of the raglan section using the duplicate stitch technique, bringing a charming holiday spirit to your sweater. To complete the look, adorn the tree with vibrant Christmas balls crafted from beautiful French knot embroidery, making each piece uniquely yours.
