DRK Everyday Sweater

$9.00

This past year held many unexpected opportunities for learning more about myself and offered the time to slow down and reflect. I have thought a lot about what I reach for time and again in my closet, and how much that choice affects my mood for the day. I have found myself wanting to make and wear wardrobe staples that come to life in the details and go with everything in my closet!

*In purchasing this product you will receive a .pdf pattern for the pictured item so that you can knit them up yourself, not the actual finished item.

This past year held many unexpected opportunities for learning more about myself and offered the time to slow down and reflect. I have thought a lot about what I reach for time and again in my closet, and how much that choice affects my mood for the day. I have found myself wanting to make and wear wardrobe staples that come to life in the details and go with everything in my closet!

*In purchasing this product you will receive a .pdf pattern for the pictured item so that you can knit them up yourself, not the actual finished item.

DETAILS
This sweater is knit from the top down (meaning you can try it on as you go and add length to suit your own personal style!), beginning with the collar. You will separate the sleeves placing them on hold while the body is finished and then the sleeves are then returned to the needle, picking up stitches for the underarm for a totally seamless sweater!

SUGGESTED YARN
For this sweater I chose Mountain Meadow Tweed, a marled, sport weight 100% Mountain Merino wool that is the yarn dreams are made of! This 2-ply is perfect for sweater knitting and easily ranks among my favorite yarns thanks to its woolly feel, springy twist and naturalcolors.
