The Abundance Crewneck is a playful striped crewneck knit sweater worked flat and sewn together at the end. This pattern is meant for an intermediate knitter and uses both knits and purls to work up a colorful sweater with minimal shaping. The majority of this project is worked on US size 8 needles, except for the neckline which is knitted on US size 7 – 24” circular needles. The Abundance Crewneck’s stripes are created using the stockinette stitch in eight different colors. This delightful sweater would be an excellent option if you are ready to knit your first sweater. You should be comfortable with the following techniques: knits, purls, changing colors, picking up stitches, mattress stitching, increases and decreases. This pattern showcases four different yarns from Yarnalia’s collection. Be sure to knit gauge swatches in each yarn to ensure perfect tension for a beautiful, evenly knit sweater.
