Time for our Autumn Sweater KAL. We're making The Weekender by Andrea Mowry. Andrea's patterns are always well written and this is one of her most popular. Knit-a-longs great way to knit with others and find helpful encouragement along the way. It's long been on shop's To Knit list so it's official: Kim has a real reason to cast on another project!!!
Silhouette is slouchy and cozy! This pullover is worked in the round, bottom-up & seamless and has a boatneck. There's a bit of interest at the neckline, a few techniques (tubular cast-on, short-row shaping, 3-needle bind off) but nothing too difficult. Should work up quickly too. Perfect for a gift or a snugly hygge jumper for winter.
Pattern calls for worsted weight yarn with a gauge of 18sts in stockinette stitch in the round, after blocking. Pictured above: Juniper Moon Farms Cumulus in a soft blue. Sizing very generous and shown with 10" ease but you can make it less. Yardage range from 915-1910yds for 9 sizes (finished bust ranges 39.5" to 72.5").
You'll want to work up a swatch beforehand and block it too. Some prefer
to just jump right in, because it's so slouchy oversized it's bound to
fit, right? ;) Besides, if too small for me....it'll fit my beautiful
petite niece or sister!
Want to join? Come by shop to get your pattern ($8) and ponder which yarn to pick. Comb through your stash or splurge on a new yarn. Then join us Sun and/or Mon from 2-4pm each week. Free guidance and troubleshooting along the way.
