Knitting For Olive | Simple and Simple Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack
Soft, Simple, and Simply Stunning
Don’t be fooled by its name. The Simple and Simple Sweater is so much more than basic. Designed with new knitters in mind, this pattern uses just the fundamentals (knit, purl, increase, and decrease), yet creates a garment that feels sophisticated and wearable every day.
Held together with two strands of mohair and one strand of fingering-weight yarn, the sweater has a dreamy halo and subtle depth of colour that make it anything but ordinary. Worked seamlessly from the top down, with raglan shaping and deep ribbed edges, it’s a classic piece you’ll reach for again and again.
Whether you keep it cropped at the hip or lengthen it for a cosy fit, the Simple and Simple Sweater proves that sometimes the easiest knits are the most rewarding.
Our Simple and Simple Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 3 x Merino yarn, 6 x Soft Silk Mohair yarn, and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for the XS pattern size. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.
