Varling Sweater Mystyle
The Varling Sweater Mystyle is the Adult version of the #VarlingSweater. It’s a relaxed, boxy fit sweater with sleeves on the tighter side. The front and back are worked in a beautiful textured pattern, while the sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch. The neck is larger than a usual crewneck and finished as well as the hem with a little roll-edge.
The pattern is techedited by woollenwords and testknitted. Check the projects of the talented testknitters.
DESCRIPTION
You work in the round from the hem upwards working seersucker stitch pattern on the front and back, and stockinette stitch during the side panels. You then bind off stitches at the underarm and separate body into front and back, and later into left and right shoulders. Shoulder seams are joined together using a 3-needle bind-off. You pick up stitches for the sleeves and knit them in the round using stockinette stitch, and then finish them with an interesting cuff and tubular bind-off. Finally, you pick up stitches for the neckband and work rows of stockinette stitch for a roll-edge neck.
