The Town Square Sweater is a top-down drop-shoulder textured sweater featuring ribbing, i-cords, and a lovely grid texture. This pattern has been tech edited and test knit in all sizes. Matching made-to-measure pet sweater pattern included!

Each of my designs will be a “hand-knit postcard”, inspired by one of my favorite places. My town square has long been one of my favorite spots to knit, and I can’t imagine of a better location for my first sweater.

This sweater was originally inspired by a retail sweater by the brand The Knotty Ones. Over time, it’s truly evolved and taken on a life of its own.

I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I enjoyed making it!

See you at the town square,
