Oatmeal Sweater (ENG)

€6.90

The Oatmeal Sweater is a true classic cable knit design with a flattering v-neckline. The textures and cables make this a really fun and engaging project to work on. The sweater is designed to have a bit of positive ease to make this a really comfortable and easy-to-wear style, but you can choose a size below for a tighter fit, and you can customize both sleeve and body length to fit your exact preferences. The sweater is worked seamlessly top down, first the Upper Back is worked flat and, after that, stitches are picked up separately for each Upper Front. The body is worked in the round until desired length and stitches are then picked up for the sleeves and worked in the round. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the neckline for a 2 x 2 rib double folded collar.
