Knitting For Olive | Hans Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack
Clean Lines & Cosy Comfort for Little Ones
The Hans Sweater is a timeless and understated knit, designed with comfort and wearability in mind. Featuring a classic raglan construction, this seamless sweater is worked from the top down in the round, making it an ideal project for knitters who appreciate both structure and simplicity.
Knit in smooth stockinette stitch, the pattern begins at the ribbed neckline, shaped with German short rows for a better fit around the shoulders. From there, raglan increases flow effortlessly into the body and sleeves, which are separated at the underarm and completed after the torso is finished. A neat rib trim completes the look on cuffs and hem.
The Hans Sweater is endlessly versatile and easy to customise in length for growing kids. Perfect for everyday wear, it’s a minimalist knit with maximum charm!
