KNITTING PATTERN -- Lillesand Sweater - P155
The sweater is knitted flat from the top down, increasing throughout the yoke. The sleeve stitches are placed
on hold, they will be picked up and completed after the body of the sweater has been worked. The front
bands are then picked up and worked in 2 x 2 Rib.
SKILL LEVEL - Intermediate
The pattern has been test knitted and Technical edited, and comes with a schematic.
The feedback I have received from test knitters is that this pattern is a great start for the adventurous to confident Beginner who is ready to add simple Fair Isle (stranded work) to their skills.
