The Shego Sweater - English

This pattern is in English.

The Shego Sweater is worked top-down, starting by casting on stitches for the back piece and shaping it using short rows. Stitches are then picked up along the cast-on edge for the shoulders. Shoulders are worked separately before being joined to form the front piece. The back and front pieces are then joined to work the body. Remember to knit stripes as you go. The body is finished with a twisted rib edge and Italian bind-off. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves, worked using a small circular needle or magic loop, and finished with a twisted rib edge. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckline, which is worked in twisted knit and twisted purl stitches with stripes, and bound off using Italian bind-off. Note that the finishing colors are different for the main color and the contrast color for the body, sleeves, and neckline.
