Soon it’s going to be sweater time, the casual very comfy Idris sweater is a great one to cast on now. The pattern is a free download through September 12th. Do me a favor add the pattern to your faves and if you want to knit yours with the same yarn, you’ll find the discounted kits in my shop Yarnz2go.

The Idris sweater is a wonderfully casual knit, created from the top down and all in one piece. I loved the first sweater in the Mauve color so much, that I cast on another one in a soft Blush tone~ :yarn:

Knitting loosely is the game here, so if you are a tight knitter, use a larger needle size or even two. Well you’ll discover that one when you do a gauge swatch. The top increases steadily in various sections all around, both in the body and around the sleeves. I am pretty sure that you are absolutely going to love the soft washable yarn if you are getting the knit kit that is, it makes for a super comfy and also airy feel.

The pattern is fully written has a schematic as well as a measurement chart on the last page for sizes:
34/36/38”, 40/42/44”, 46/48/50”, 52/54” with a positive ease of
