My Favourite Stripes Sweater
This pattern is being tested currently and will be published soon!
Construction:
This sweater is worked from the bottom up, casting on and then working in the round, working the body until the armholes. After armhole bind-offs, separate front and back, keeping one side on hold, and work each side, shaping the neck and shoulders. After finishing with both sides, the shoulder seams are worked, and then sleeves or neck ribbing is worked.
This sweater has a dropped shoulder and the loose fit of a casual sweatshirt, with a positive ease of 15-20cm. The sample is made in Size M for a woman with a 90cm bust circumference and 170cm height. Ease and fit can be easily modified in all body measurements.
