First, the back is worked and shaped using German short rows. Stitches are then picked up for the shoulders, and the yoke is worked back and forth with increases for the sleeves and the slanted front edges. The body is likewise worked back and forth with increases for the slanted front edges. The sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch.

Besides patterns, PetiteKnit develops and sells products that are almost essential when knitting.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen and where did you start knitting?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy grandmother taught me to knit when I was 6 years old, and I have knitted ever since. However, it wasn’t until I was on maternity leave with my first daughter, I started developing my own designs and knitting larger pieces for myself as well. I met a group of older women who talked and knitted, and they taught me a lot about techniques and ways to knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat has made you work professionally with knitting?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it wasn’t they who taught me to knit, I think it was my father and my mother who inspired me to make my creative side my profession. They have both been self-employed all my life, so the idea of working for myself and creating something that was my own has really always been there – even though it took almost 10 years of studying medicine to realize it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat it is knitting I have chosen to work with, feels both very obvious and as a matter of many coincidences, because maybe it could have been some other creative craft. Knitting has the advantage that you can bring it everywhere. No matter where you are or almost what you are doing or if you only have 5 minutes, you can bring your knitting and knit even just a few rows or stitches. In that way, knitting has become part of who I am, and it feels wrong to leave my house without a project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI find the process of knitting both inspiring and relaxing, and it is often while holding the needles that I come up with ideas on how to use a technique or how the form should be. I also really enjoy communicating knitting, explaining how to move from one step to another, calculating all the sizes and details and writing it down in a manner that is easy to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat has studying medicine meant for your work as a knitwear designer?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy 10 years of studying medicine have meant a lot for my way of writing patterns. The scientific method of writing an article is in many ways the same as that of writing a pattern. My supervisor at university told me that a methodology section should be written so that anyone else would be able to do the same. The level of information should neither be too high so as to interfere with the meaning, or too low so as not to be adequate. In many ways writing a pattern is exactly the same. I write down each step in a way that anyone with a knowledge of the techniques should be able to arrive at the same result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat inspires you?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is always one of the hardest questions to answer, because inspiration comes from everywhere. It can be a color, a shape, a woman passing me on the street. I try to be very open to impressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDifficulty Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt PetiteKnit you will find patterns with varying levels of difficulty.
