Knitting For Olive | Wilson Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Wilson Sweater is a clean, understated knit that brings a modern twist to a classic silhouette with its open polo-style collar. Soft yet structured, it’s worked with 1 strand of Merino and 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together, creating a fabric that feels light, warm, and gently fluffy.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. You begin by knitting the collar and front split back and forth, shaping the neckline before continuing in the round down to the underarms. From there, the sleeves are placed on hold while the body is completed, then each sleeve is worked in the round from the top down.
A raglan construction ensures a comfortable fit and smooth shaping, while folded edges at the hem and cuffs give the Wilson Sweater a refined, durable finish. Easy to wear and simple to style, it’s a timeless addition to any handknit wardrobe.
Our Wilson Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 4 x Merino, 4 x Soft Silk Mohair, and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for an XS size sweater. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size. Please refer to the chart below.
