Simple and Simple Sweater by Pernille Larsen

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Simple and Simple Sweater is knit seamlessly in the round from the top down. You begin from the neck, and work the yoke with raglan increases. Sleeve stitches are then put on hold, and the body is completed. Lastly, you work one sleeve at a time in the round, from the held stitches down to the cuff. Simple and Simple Sweater has a classic, relaxed silhouette, with a high and close-fitting ribbed neckline, and deep, ribbed edges.

Designed to hit the body at hip height, the length of the sweater can be easily modified to fit lower or higher on the body by working additional or fewer rounds before starting the ribbed edges.
