Dream Sweater
Knitting pattern
Description
The yarn in this kit is made from 100% natural fibers
The dream sweater is knitted bottom-up. The sweater comes in two fits: women's and unisex, where the unisex model has longer and tighter ribbing, as well as a longer body and sleeves. The length can be easily adjusted as desired. The yoke is shaped with raglan decreases, and the neckline is knitted in double-folded ribbing.
