Trio Sweater Knitting Pattern
"This beginner-friendly sweater pattern is perfect for those just starting out with knitting. It features only the stockinette stitch, making it easy to follow and relaxing to work on. The design is simple yet stylish, with a loose fit that works for sizes XS to 5XL. The sweater’s design is minimalist yet versatile, with three wide stripes in different colors for a pop of style. It features a low, scooped round neckline that adds a touch of elegance while maintaining a casual vibe. The fit is loose and comfy, with simple tapered sleeves that offer a modern silhouette. The sleeves are worked after the body is completed, making the construction straightforward and minimizing the need for seams. Knit bottom-up in the round, this sweater is almost seamless, with only seams at the shoulders. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the body, making it an easy and satisfying project from start to finish. If you’re new to knitting and looking for a rewarding project, this simple, chic sweater with a soft, fluffy texture is an ideal choice to build your confidence. /PATTERN DETAILS • Only stockinette stitch • Beginner sweater, very easy & approachable • XS to 5XL • 3 colored stripes • Loose fluffy yarn: recycled alpaca.
