Shadow Slipstitch Sweater
A high fashion slouchy sweater in two-color slipstitch with a nice warm cowl neck. The seemingly complicated colorwork is created throughout in the same 4-row slipstitch pattern, meaning you never have to work more than one color at a time!
It’s knit in the round, bottom-up, with a few back and forth rows for the arm-openings. The current fit is made up with curving side seams that end in the low-set sleeve openings.
The sleeves are picked up from the sleeve openings, so there’s no sewing here whatsoever. However, you could also knit the sleeves flat…
And the bonus feature is: you could wear it inside out! The loops of yarn on the inside are, to my mind, as pretty as the outside…
SIZE
For women’s garments: XS (S, M, L, XL) (shown in size L on a size S model)
