The Ingrid Sweater by PetiteKnit is a richly textured, effortlessly cosy pullover that turns simple knits and purls into a true wardrobe showstopper. Built around three distinct horizontal texture sections separated by delicate eyelet rows, this relaxed, boxy knit pairs a cosy wool yarn with a fluffy halo of silk mohair—creating a cloud-soft everyday layer that looks amazing with everything from relaxed denim to tailored trousers.
Please note: This is a knitting pattern only. Yarn, needles, and extra notions must be purchased separately.
Pattern Overview
- Skill Level: 5 out of 5 (Advanced)
- Size Range: XS to 5XL
- Construction: You’ll work this sweater seamlessly from the top down across three alternating knit-and-purl texture patterns divided by eyelet rows. It starts with the back yoke worked flat using short rows to shape the shoulder slope. Next, stitches are picked up to knit each front shoulder separately (also shaped with short rows) before joining them to form the front yoke, and then front and back are joined at the underarms to knit the body straight down in the round. Finally, you’ll pick up stitches around the armholes to work the sleeves in the round, leaving zero seaming required at the finish.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Ingrid Sweater is designed with a generous, boxy silhouette offering roughly 20 cm of positive ease (meaning the finished sweater sits about 20 cm wider than your actual bust). Before you cast on, grab a measuring tape and measure around your bust—or the widest part of your upper body—to pick the best size. For example, a bust measurement of 90 cm matches a size S, giving a finished circumference of 112 cm and 22 cm of easy, comfortable room.
| Size | To Fit Bust Circumference (cm) | Finished Bust Circumference (cm) | Total Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 80–85 | 104 | 56 |
| S | 85–90 | 112 | 58 |
| M | 90–95 | 116 | 60 |
| L | 95–100 | 120 | 63 |
| XL | 100–110 | 128 | 65 |
| 2XL | 110–120 | 136 | 67 |
| 3XL | 120–130 | 152 | 68 |
| 4XL | 130–140 | 160 | 69 |
| 5XL | 140–150 | 168 | 70 |
Gauge & Suggested Tools
- Gauge: 20 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm in texture pattern on 4 mm needles after washing and blocking.

- Double-Pointed Needles: 4 mm and 3.5 mm DPNs (only needed if you prefer not to use the Magic Loop method for the sleeves).
Yarn & Materials Chart
This sweater is knitted by holding two strands together: one strand of sport-weight or DK-weight wool (ranging from ~108–175 m per 50 g depending on your chosen yarn) paired with one strand of lace-weight silk mohair (approx. 210–225 m per 25 g).

Note: Meter figures are calculated directly from the pattern’s recommended yarn weights and represent designer estimates rather than exact consumption. Always buy full balls and consider grabbing an extra ball if you plan to swatch generously or add length to the body or sleeves.
Crucial Swatching Tip
Take a little time to knit, wash, and block a textured swatch with both strands held together before casting on! Because this design relies on three distinct knit-and-purl pattern sections separated by eyelet rows, hitting both the 20-stitch width gauge and the 30-row height gauge is essential so the finished length and proportions match the table above. Adjust your needle size up or down until your blocked swatch is spot on.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why are there three different wool weights listed in the yarn chart? Different wool bases have different densities and yardages per 50 g ball, which changes how many grams you’ll need to reach the same stitch count—just pick the column that matches the meterage per 50 g of your chosen wool strand!
- Do I have to use double-pointed needles for the sleeves? Not at all! You can easily knit the sleeves in the round from the armholes down using the Magic Loop technique on a long circular needle instead of DPNs.
- Are there any seams to sew at the end? Zero seaming required. Everything is constructed seamlessly from the top down—once you cast off the cuffs, hem, and neckband, your only finishing job is weaving in your yarn ends.
