NIXE SWEATER

by Valentina Bogdanova
 2

NIXE means “water ghost” in German and the pattern on

the round yoke reminds me of the deep waters full of
seashells and seagrass, therefore I decided the name
would fit this sweater perfectly. It is a seamless top-down
sweater with an interesting lace pattern on the round yoke
while the rest is made in reverse stockinette (knitted on the
wrong side).

The range of ease across all the sizes is 6-10 cm/2.5-

4.25”.

The picture shows size 3 with 9.5 cm/3.75” of positive

ease.

PATTERN NOTES:
• I recommend swatching for the lace pattern and if you notice that it is looser than the stockinette stitch, please use smaller
needles for working the lace section of your sweater.
• The sweater is worked in one piece top down. You start with neck band/ribbing, then work neck shaping with short rows and
then continue working in the round. After the round yoke, you work another set of short rows for better shaping and then
separate the sleeves and the body and continue working them separately. For reverse stockinette, you knit on the wrong side.

SKILLS REQUIRED:
• basics (cast on/bind off, knit/purl, increase/decrease)
• short rows
• working in the round
• working from a chart
