Knitting For Olive | Loui Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Loui Sweater is the perfect everyday knit for little ones – simple, warm, and extra cosy. Worked in half fisherman’s rib with 1 strand of Heavy Merino + 1 strand of Merino held together, it has a beautifully chunky texture that feels soft and snug, making it a staple piece for cold winter days.
The construction is straightforward: the sweater begins with a ribbed hem, continues seamlessly in half fisherman’s rib, and is shaped with thoughtful details, such as a Kitchener stitch at the shoulders and a folded ribbed neckband that mirrors the cuffs and hem. With its classic design and comfortable fit, the Loui Sweater is a timeless wardrobe essential kids will reach for again and again.
Our Loui Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 2 x Heavy Merino yarn, 1 x Merino yarn, and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for the 6 months pattern size. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern.
