Lang PTO27-07 Sweater Jumper Knitting Pattern

Lang PTO27-07 Sweater

What is Being Made

The Lang PTO27-07 is a knitted sweater designed and produced by LANG & Co. AG. This garment is worked in a bottom-up construction method, beginning with the front and back pieces before assembly. The sweater features an eyelet lace pattern throughout, creating a delicate, openwork design characteristic of contemporary knitwear. Available in multiple sizes ranging from 52 to 68 cm in finished width, this pattern accommodates various body measurements for a customized fit.

Techniques Used

This sweater employs several key knitting techniques to achieve its finished structure:

• Bottom-up construction: The garment is knitted from the cast-on edge upward, allowing knitters to try on and adjust length as needed before binding off.
• Worked flat: The front and back pieces are knitted on straight needles in rows rather than in continuous rounds, then seamed together.
• Seamed assembly: Individual pieces are joined using seaming techniques to create the finished garment.
• Lace patterning: An eyelet lace pattern is charted and repeated throughout the body of the sweater, created through yarn overs and decreases that form decorative holes.
• Ribbed edging: The cast-on edge begins with a 1¼-inch (3 cm) ribbed section using alternating knit and purl stitches to create elasticity and a finished appearance.

Stitches Used

The Lang PTO27-07 incorporates fundamental and decorative knitting stitches:

• Knit and purl stitches: Form the base structure of the ribbing and stockinette sections.
• Yarn overs (yo): Create the openwork holes essential to the eyelet lace pattern.
• Knit two together (k2tog): A right-leaning decrease used throughout the lace chart to balance yarn overs and shape the garment.
• Slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over (sl 1, k1, psso): A left-leaning decrease that provides directional shaping in the lace pattern.
• Decreases for shaping: Strategic decreases are worked across the first row of the eyelet pattern (33 to 39 stitches depending on size) to transition from the ribbed cast-on edge to the lace pattern repeat.
