Outline Sweater - Knitting Pattern

€7.00Price
  • The Outline Sweater is our version of the classic crew neck, it's all about simplicity, ease of wear and construction details. The sweater is knitted flat in two pieces, the front and the back. Each piece starts with a 2x2 rib hem and changes to stocking stitch for the body. The seams are joined using an exposed crochet seam (we have a detailed youtube video to help with this!)

     

    This pattern provides easy to follow detailed instructions using the following techniques: 

    Long tail cast on, 2x2 rib stitch, stocking stitch, cable cast on, decreasing, cast off, cast off in ribbing, picking up stitches, invisible seaming and crochet slip stitch seam.


    Skill Level: Easy. 

     

    Sizing: 8 sizes (XS-4X) see size guide. Alice wears size 2 (S).
