Sweater Weather is a true staple for your handmade wardrobe. It’s simple and fun to knit. The beautiful lace panel on the front makes for a nice change from stockinette stitch.

Sweater Weather is knitted seamlessly from the top down with raglan sleeves and short row shaping at the neck. You can try the sweater on at any point to ensure your perfect fit.

Sweater Weather has a straight body that ends before the widest point of the hip, for a flattering fit. With 12 sizes it fits most body types. The pattern has clear and complete step-by-step instructions. The lace panel also has optional charted instructions. Whether this is your first or 16th time knitting a sweater, this pattern is for you.
