Product Description
The French Press Sweater is an advanced beginner knitting pattern featuring the Feather & Fan lace and garter stitch.
This project uses 1x1 ribbing, garter stitch, yarn overs, and simple decreases, with the right neck/shoulder decreases as the most challenging but achievable part. Knit flat for the body and sleeves, and in the round for the neck, this sweater is seamed together. Bracelet-length sleeves can be adjusted by adding garter rows.
Circular or straight needles can be used, but circular or DPNs are needed for the neck.
