KNITTING PATTERN -- Sweet Pea Sweater - P208
YAY, finally the release of my ‘Sweet Pea Sweater’. As you knitters in the Northern hemisphere are fast approaching sweater weather, my ‘Sweet Pea Sweater’ is hopefully going to get your creative juices working, and the desire to pick up those knitting needles.
SKILL LEVEL - Intermediate
This sweater is worked from the bottom up to underarm, then divided for front and back.
Sleeves are knitted in the round by picking up stitches once you have joined the sweater at the shoulders. For the collar you will be picking up stitches around the neckline and knitting back and forth.
This sweater is worked by holding 2 strands of yarn HELD TOGETHER throughout.
A simple and fun knit.
The pattern has been graded by my Tech Editor, and a HUGE THANK YOU to the wonderful test knitters who worked on this pattern, their colour combos look fantastic!!
