Jenna Sweater

Jenna Sweater is a classic oversized sweater with a high neck. The shoulder construction and ribbed neckband give the sweater a clean, structured look, while the ribbed detail on the back and the details on the sleeves add a distinctive touch.

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. First, the back is worked flat with increases to shape the shoulders. Stitches are then picked up for the front, and the neckline is shaped before the front and back are joined and the body is worked in the round. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are first worked in garter stitch, followed by 2×2 ribbing. The sleeves are then worked in stockinette stitch with decreases before being finished with garter stitch and 2×2 ribbing. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckband, which is worked in 2×2 ribbing.
