Digital knitting pattern pdf download
• The Pacific Rainforest sweater is a comfy cozy, yoked sweater with bracelet length sleeves.
• It is knit in the round from the bottom up and in the round using Worsted weight yarn. You start by knitting each sleeve from the wrist to the underarm, placing them on hold, then knitting the body from the hem to the underarm. You then
join them all together in the round and begin working decreases for the yoke.
• The staggered Raindrop stitch on the yoke is made by quickly increasing and decreasing stitches, and there are tips in the pattern for how to do this as easily as possible.
• Pattern includes nine sizes; XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X,
3X, 4X, 5X)
