Sweethood Sweater - pattern release

Happy knitting fellow crafters! I am so happy to share a very special knitting design with you today – Sweethood Sweater. 

This sweater design is the improved copy of the very first sweater, which I designed and knitted for myself when I was around 12 years old. It also was my very first finished project. Would you believe that my very first finished project was a sweater!? 

As my knitting skills were very limited at this age, the sweater did not have any cables at Front. There were five moss stitch panels in Front and Back divided by purl columns with slip stitches and the butterfly stitch around shoulders. The sweaters silhouette was pretty much the same with slightly longer length.

Those days I have decided to add beautiful cable motif in front of sweater as a symbol of my love to knitting, my kids who are my greatest inspiration and to my childhood as well.

Great thank you to my husband for the beautiful pattern name, which perfectly reflects the story behind this design.

Sweethood Sweater knitted with DK weight yarn Drops Karisma. 

The sweater features boxy shape with plenty of positive ease, dropped shoulders and round neck. Front and Back of sweater are knitted bottom up on straight needles. The sleeves are knitted top down so the length can be easily adjustable, the neck is knitted in the round on circular needles.

The pattern is written for sizes from 3-4 years to 15-16 years and consists of both row-by-row instructions and charts.  

It is available from Ravelry and Lovecrafts.
