3-to-2 Any Gauge Sweater

HeartStrings knitting pattern #W40

Use any yarn for this on-the-bias sweater. The 3-to-2 bias shaping in the body of the sweater gives you flattering design and drape. This is a great pattern for variegated yarns or multiple yarns of similar weight knit in easy stripes.

Briony Gniechwitz of the Yarn Shoppe in Oroville, CA writes about the 3-to-2 Any Gauge summer top she made ...

I just thought I'd email you about my little rave of the 3 to 2 Any Gauge Sweater I made in SR Kertzer's Ranee and Sari. I had to split the difference in gauges for them both to work together, but I just thought I'd share. I think this pattern shows them off beautifully and allows their drape to show off too. The 'button' is Sari crocheted into a button. I can never find buttons I like so I just make 'em out of the yarn I use.
Anyway, just wanted to say I loved working the pattern, easy to follow and a great tool for showing how useful gauge is.
