Free Knit V-Neck Chunky Sweater Pattern + Video Tutorial | Wishlist
The Wishlist Open Collar Pullover makes a statement with its fabulous double collar, simple lines, and classic look. It’s slightly cropped in body and you can choose to leave the opening as it is, sew in a zipper, or add toggle buttons if you’d like. It’s easy to customize as you go.
This pullover is a raglan sweater knit from the top-down. The collar is worked first, folded over and knitted together at the top and bottom to create the double collar. Feel free to adjust the sweater as needed. You can easily increase body and arm length and armhole depth. You’ll finish with applied i-cord edging around the open collar.
