Nubia sweater is one of the designs from the Ancient Egypt collection. Each sweater in this collection was inspired by the architecture of Ancient Egypt cities and nature, and each will have a similar structure. If you make one - you know how to make the next, but each will have some new technique for you to learn or master. Nubia sweater is a simple play-on knit and purl stitches. Creating columns with ribbing and stripes with Stockinette stitch and Reversed Stockinette stitch resembling the bird’s view of the city. A very simple sweater that is created with a better fit and structure than most top-down worked-in-one-go sweaters. Easily modifiable, and good practice for the short rows, three-needle bind-off, and provisional cast-on skills.
If you want to learn a new way of constructing sweaters, you are in the right place. I like to invent new ways of working with seamless sweaters, improving their structure of them and fit.
Don’t worry! There is a Knit-along video on my youtube channel that guides you thru almost every step.
This is a top-down boxy sweater.
The collar is worked in the round, then folded to create a double fabric.
The work continues with provisionally casting on stitches for the right sleeve, working the top flat part of the sleeve, and shaping the right front part of the sleeve and the neckline by using the short row technique. Once the front right neckline curve is shaped (the sleeve shaping will not be done yet, and will be finished later), transition to the left side, and provisionally cast on stitches for the left sleeve. The work continues with the flat part of the left sleeve and left front neckline and sleeve shaping. When the front neckline short rows are finished, the work continues with the short rows that go from right to left sleeve until the instructed number of short row turns is completed. From there, work flat until the desired/instructed depth of the sleeve at the wrist is achieved.
Next, the work continues at the back. Starting with the right back neckline drop and sleeve shaping. Here, as for the front, once the back neckline drop curve is finished, transition to the left side and start working on the left back neckline drop and sleeve shaping. When the left side back neckline shaping short row turns are completed, continue shaping the back of the sleeves by working short rows at the back of the sleeves from right to left. when finished working short rows switch to work flat for the desired/instructed depth of the sleeve at the wrist.
Once the sleeve at the wrist reached the desired width, connect the stitches of the sleeves by using the three-needle bind-off method, and start working on the body of the sweater switching from working flat to working in the round.
The sweater is made with 4 inches of positive ease at the bust.

20 sizes total varying from 30 to 68 inches bust.
I recommend using Jagger Spun Mousam Falls yarn but as long as you get the correct gauge, you can work with any yarn of any content.
You can modify this sweater to be longer, shorter, narrower, or wider, with shorter sleeves or longer sleeves.
Please make sure that any increase in fabric requires more yarn.

Happy knitting!
