Three easy pieces: three patterns to mix and match.

#1 of the e-book Three easy pieces is a simple tee or pullover with a basic raglan sleeve inset knit at a loose gauge. It is a quick knit too worked top down and seamlessly in the round.
At any time you can switch between the three patterns. They all start in the same way and have the same stitch counts.
Check #2 if you want to embellish your sweater with some steeked fents and sewn-in petals (there is also a version if you don’t like to cut in your knitting).
Go to #3 if you want to add a turtle neck and balloon sleeves.

It is an ideal project to work up some stashed yarn. Use a worsted weight… or hold two fingering weights together, pair a sport weight with a lace weight… whatever you find in your stash and looks good together.

Knit a cropped tee with sleeve caps, a longer tee with 3/4 sleeves or a pullover with long sleeves. Add some stripes, a gradient (fade) or some stranded knitting. Instructions for slow and quick gradients and a chart of flowers are included.

The neck edge, hem and cuffs are finished with a welted cast on or bind off giving it a minimal finished look that prevents stockinette stitch from rolling.
