HAPPY SWEATER is knitted bottom up using Sandnes Line. It’s worked with slightly larger needles, giving it a beautiful drape. Happy Sweater is a colorful garment, knitted in stockinette stitch with stripes and a checkered pattern. The checkered pattern is provided both as written instructions and as a chart. It features a twisted rib at the hem and neckline. The sleeves are straight — not overly wide — and are tapered toward the wrist, ending with an i-cord bind-off. A lovely sweater for spring and summer.
