Sketchbook is knitted in a pattern that resembles the small rings found in an artist’s sketchbook. The design, created by yarn overs, decreases, and twisted knit and purl stitches, gives this sweater depth and texture.
The combination of Alva and Tilia adds a softness and lightness, making it perfect whether you’re holding a paintbrush in hand or simply enjoying a relaxing moment with a good book.

SketchBook is worked from the top down, according to
charts.
The yoke begins at the nape of the neck and is worked
back and forth on the circular needle. To shape the
slanted shoulders, stitches are cast on at each side of
the first rows until the full back width is reached. The
upper back is then worked according to chart to the
bottom of the armholes. At this point, the back stitches
are put on hold while the front piece is worked.
Stitches are picked up along the slanted shoulders, and
each side of the neckline is knitted separately until the
sides are joined at the centre front and worked to the
same length as the back yoke.
Next, the back and front pieces are joined, and the body
is worked in the round. On the final round of the body,
decreases are made before knitting the ribbing, which
is finished with an Italian bind-off.
For the sleeves, stitches are picked up along the armholes,
and the sleeves are worked in the round from the
top down. The sleeves are finished in the same way as
the body, with decreases on the final round, followed by
ribbing and an Italian bind-off.
