If you're someone who is only just beginning to knit or if you simply need a quick but classic project, we offer you a pattern for an extremely easy knitted sweater. This garment is in fact made with a stockinette stitch. The sweater has a loose, soft fit. The lines are basic; therefore, it can be used for many different occasions. It is somewhat transparent, however, if additional threads are used when knitting the sweater will be made less transparent. Knitting it is sure to be fun, though wearing it even more so!
The yarn selected is Fluffy in mohair and silk. The Fluffy rans used comes in a wide range of colours, so choose your favourite nuance from our shop.
