The knitting pattern for the Elva sweaters is a long, loose-fitting sweater with sophisticated saddle shoulders. The shoulders are knitted in a rib pattern that starts at the collar, runs over the shoulder and the entire sleeve to the fret. The knitting pattern for the saddle shoulder sweater has a pass that is shaped for a good fit with short rows, and the neckline is shaped along the short rows with increases. The sweater knitting pattern is knitted from top to bottom, so the length is fully customizable. The Elva sweater has a turtle collar sweater that is also knitted in ribs, giving the sweater a wintry, cozy look. The sleeves are cut a little longer to complete the casual, modern look of the sweater. With this knitting pattern, knit a sweater with saddle shoulders.

Start by making a mesh pattern to check if you have the right thickness.
