SUMMARY

The White Rabbit Sweater is a unisex, top-down sweater available in ten different adult sizes. It offers cropped and regular body length options, as well as several neck styles: double neck (pictured), turtleneck, mock turtleneck, and crew neck.

This sweater is knitted in one piece, top-down, using the magic loop method with increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked at the top of the yoke to raise the back neck for a better fit.

The sweater is knit with only two colors at a time, making it easier to knit. Additional color (eyes) will be added later using the duplicate stitch technique.

Materials:

  • Any Aran/Worsted/DK Weight yarn to achieve recommended gauge
