A wardrobe staple in a classic, wearable shape. Reverse stocking stitch shows off the yarn beautifully and gives texture to an otherwise minimalist piece. This boxy sweater is worked from the bottom up in pieces with carefully shaped shoulders and seams for stability that result in a flattering fit.
For those who have mastered basic knitting techniques and are ready to expand their skills. Patterns may introduce slightly more complex techniques and patterns, such as shaping, increasing, decreasing or working multiple colors or easy lace patterns. The yarn weight may vary, and the patterns might introduce working with double-pointed needles or circular needles. Patterns will help knitters gain confidence and experience with new techniques while still working within a manageable level of difficulty.
