The everything sweater is the most versatile women’s sweater. Stylewise, the variations are limitless. Make it sleeveless or with sleeves of any length. The pattern includes variations from capped to full length sleeves.

Twist, tie, drape, pin, bunch and corral its waterfall collar to add style and pizazz!

The one used as the sample was made of Lion Brand Cotton-Ease on a Brothers Bulky machine. But… you can knit it with any yarn, on any machine and it will fit just about everyone.

Additional variations can be achieved by incorporating slight modifications to the lapels and lower corners. This is discussed in the variations section of the pattern.

The everything sweater relies on the drape of the knitting to adjust to the individual figure. It fits just about everyone from 5 feet tall to 5’ 10 inches. Plus, the pattern addresses how to accommodate specific figure-fitting challenges.

Since the pattern relies on just one measurement, a properly made and measured swatch is the key to success.

This is the companion pattern for the video series How to Machine Knit the Everything Sweater Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. This video tutorial starts with an overview in Part 1. Part 2 and 3 describe how to knit the actual sweater and will be released soon!
