Wanderer Sweater
If you purchase 3 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (place them all in your cart before checking out), you will automatically receive the least expensive for free!
Wanderer is a classic sweater featuring a crew neck and set-in sleeves with 2x2 ribbed edges.
It is knitted bottom-up for both the body and sleeves.
Designed for effortless everyday wear, this unisex basic knit is an absolute wardrobe staple for anyone to last for a long time.
This sweater project is suitable for beginners who want a challenge to knit a jumper for themselves or as a gift for their loved one.
The pattern contains a stitch glossary, detailed written instructions, charts, schematics, and video tutorial links for special stitch/seam techniques.
ONE pattern TWO options: For knitters who still prefer knit a jumper bottom-up flat, here is the good news! The pattern now offers instructions to either knit in the round to minimise working purl stitches or knit all pieces flat for easier transportation and customisation if needed.
