Knitting Pattern PDF download
A pullover sweater with all-over texture. Catbells is an oversized, cropped length pullover. It’s quite boxy up top, with 6” of positive ease at the bust, and pulls in slightly at the waist for some definition. The sleeves are also knit with positive ease and end with a slightly bloused cuff. With a wide crew neckline, this effortless sweater is as comfy as your favourite worn in sweatshirt, and it will quickly become a favourite throw-on-and-go staple. The squishy eyelet-garter texture provides movement and breathability and tubular bind offs add the finishing touches.
