  • This is a PDF knitting pattern

    This sweater is all about simple shapes, color, texture, and dramatic proportions. Cast on for the fitted sleeve and continue with sideways construction for the front seed stitch section. The oversized boxy shape increases to form a long point on the left front of the sweater that can later be folded and buttoned to the back.

    Choose a variety of stash yarns for the easy back rectangle. Additional pops of color are used on the garter stitch shoulders and side triangle. The color blocked sections are often achieved with picked up stitches so there are only two little seams in the whole sweater! Add fringe and crocheted stars to transform the sweater into something extra special.

  • Sizes
    Small Medium, Large
    Medium size is shown on a 41” / 104cm chest circumference with approximately 19” / 48cm of positive ease.

    Measurements are written in the pattern for sleeve length and the distance to knit the sideways front and back pieces. Instructions also include landmarks on the body so you can achieve proportions that work for you. For example, “Work even until sleeve reaches approximately 1” / 2.5cm past your elbow.”
