PetiteKnit Monday sweater pattern PetiteKnit Monday sweater pattern on approximately A5 sized paper. If you would like to order the yarn to make this pattern as well please drop me a line. The Monday Sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases to shape the yoke. The neck rib edge is folded and knitted together (to form a double neckband) and short rows are worked at the back of the neck to shape the neckline and raise the back. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique.
