Seller's description

*This is a digital download of a knitting pattern and not an actual finished product*

This pattern meets the gender inclusive standards for pattern writing set by Knit Them (Texel).

Construction: This sweater is a simple drop shoulder design, and is knit from the top down. It is designed to have 13-18cm / 5-7” of positive ease. You’ll begin by working the back yoke flat, shaping the shoulders with German short rows. Then you will work in stockinette before introducing the loon mural using stranded colourwork (also worked flat). The front yoke is then worked flat, starting with picking up and knitting each shoulder separately while shaping the neckline. The front shoulders are then joined to complete the neck opening, and the loon mural continues across the front in stranded colourwork (worked flat). Once the front and back yokes are complete, they are joined to form the body, which is knit in the round. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves and neckline, both of which are worked in the round.

I haven’t had time to knit this yet but I’m excited to start. I want to make my grandson a sweater in this pattern. He and his parents live in Minnesota.
