Free Knitting Pattern for a Campesina Sweater.
This knitting pattern describes how to create a seamless, top-down sweater with a raglan construction. Beginning with an Italian tubular cast-on for the collar, the pattern transitions into a ribbed neckband before moving to the yoke, which is shaped using raglan increases and German short rows for a comfortable fit at the neckline. The body and sleeves are worked in simple stockinette stitch, with the body featuring a split hem detail finished with ribbing. The sleeves are picked up and knit in the round, decreasing down to a ribbed cuff. The pattern provides detailed row-by-row and round-by-round instructions, making it suitable for experienced knitters. The overall design creates a classic and comfortable sweater with a refined fit.
Skill Level: Intermediate/Advanced. The techniques involved (Italian tubular cast-on, German short rows, raglan increases, working in the round, picking up stitches, and ribbing) require a solid understanding of knitting fundamentals and experience with sweater construction.
