Knitting For Olive | Elmer Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Elmer Sweater is a timeless wardrobe staple with just the right balance of simplicity and detail. Its subtle horizontal stripes are formed by alternating stockinette stitch and ribbing, giving the sweater a beautifully textured look that feels effortlessly modern. The round yoke and back-neck split, fastened with a button, add thoughtful design touches, while ribbed edges neatly finish the body and sleeves.
Worked seamlessly from the top down with 1 strand of Merino paired with 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair, the Elmer Sweater has a soft, lightweight feel with a hint of cosy fluff. The pattern begins with the ribbed neckband and yoke, which are shaped with increases to ensure a smooth fit, before proceeding to the body and sleeves. Both length and sleeve options are easily customisable, so you can create a sweater that’s just right for you or your little one.
Our Elmer Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 1 x Merino yarn, 2 x Soft Silk Mohair yarn, and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for the 3-month size pattern. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.
