Stroll Sweater
Stroll Sweater
The perfect pattern for first-time sweater knitters! All you need to know is how to cast on and off, the knit and purl stitch and one simple increase technique. The stripes make it easy to keep track of your rows and know exactly when to work your increases.
Worked top-down, in the round, with raglan shaping and endlessly addictive stripes, this sweater has a relaxed, slightly boxy fit with a soft drape and subtle square neckline. It’s the kind of sweater you throw on for a morning walk, a slow start to the day, or cool spring and summer evenings. With options for two sleeve lengths, it’s a versatile pattern that you can wear year-round.
The green sweater is a size medium in Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece
The navy and white tee is a size large in Rowan Hand Knit Cotton
