Oats
I’m really pleased to include a Spanish translation for Oats which will be available for automatic download along with the English version after purchase. Please note: as I cannot guarantee the Spanish version nor answer questions in Spanish you are still purchasing the English version with the option of downloading the Spanish translation too. Many thanks to Eva who kindly translated the pattern.
Oats is a minimalist boxy top with drop-shoulders and bold graphics in easy to work eyelet detail.
This sleeveless sweater has a wide neckline and is knitted top-down; combining consecutive shoulder increases to create the drop-shoulders with short rows to shape the front neckline. It’s also seamless; knit mostly in the round apart from the arm split section.
The graphic detail of diamonds and zigzags are the focal point of Oats. The pattern contains full written details for the pattern repeat along with accompanying charts. The finished top is modern, stylish, loose fitting and cool for summer.
Sizes:
XS - 28/30, S - 32/34, M - 36/38, L - 40/42, XL - 44/46
As with the majority of boxy style sweaters with generous positive ease many people will fit into multiple sizes. When deciding which size to make my recommendation would be to choose the size based on the amount of positive ease you most prefer. Please refer to the size details below and the schematic at the end of the pattern for actual finished measurements. The top could easily be made longer by adding a few inches to the body section if that is your preference. The XS sizing would be suitable for many young teens.
