The Hip sweater is a hip-length style knit with a mock neck and long narrowing sleeves. This sweater has a neckline and is worked top-down in Stockinette stitch pattern. The sweater is worked in raglan using increases M1L and M1R. Neck, cuffs and hem are worked in Rib stitch pattern in different colour yarn. The sweater body is worked straight, therefore it can be easily made longer and of course, more yarns should be estimated. The hip sweater is an 80’s fashion style knit with wide sleeves at the shoulders and with very narrow cuffs.
