Do you enjoy relaxing and knitting, or do you love avoiding purl stitches? Cold Brew is just the sweater for any knitter who is looking for a simple knit project to show off their special yarn. This sweater uses lightweight yarn knit as worsted weight to create a light weight drapey garment. It is knit from the bottom up flat using garter stitch for the body, and stockinette for the sleeves (yes you heard right. All knit stitches except for the few purls found on the edge ribbing!)This sweater can be easily modified to knit in the round seamlessly until the arm separation by simply doubling the cast on number and working knit stitches and purl stitches alternately until the arm separation, then simply working knit stitches for the rest of the body. The shoulders are finished off using a three needle bind off. The sleeves and neck are picked up and knit in the round.
