Riptide Sweater Knitting Pattern (English)

Riptide Sweater is a feminine sweater in a delicate, ribbed diagonal pattern. The pattern is created from knit- and purl stitches, and a few cables. The rib edges and turtleneck collar is worked in twisted rib. 

First the body and sleeves are knitted individually. They are then joined to be finished as one piece with raglan decreases. Short rows are used to create a beautiful and well-fitting neckline. The sweater is finished with a warm and lovely turtleneck in twisted rib.
