Grow Like a Weed
This sweater is worked flat for the front, back and sleeves. The neck cuff is then picked up and knitted in the round after the seams have been sewing together.
The fun textured design is created by making elongated stitches described at the bottom of the pattern, which are then slipped on the next few rows before knitting them again in a row of cables.
You may knit this in one colour, or 2 colours. If using two colours, you will need to work colourwork on both knit and purl rows. Please don’t let this scare you! This was the first project I tried this on and I was able to pick it up really quickly. It’s easy! :) Give it a try, and I’m happy to help!
