Rockpool Sweater

An all year round, casual sweater with simple slouchy body and cute mesh sleeves.

This sweater is worked in DK weight yarn to an Aran weight gauge, as it is designed to be quite lightweight and open. The sample uses a fairly thick DK, which could be substituted for a light Worsted yarn that meets the same gauge.

Construction: The Rockpool sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. It begins by casting on across the shoulders and working back and forth in rows on the upper back, then the upper front. The main body is worked in the round in one piece from the armhole down to the hem.

Stitches are picked up around the neck to work the ribbed neckband.

The sleeves are worked by picking up around the armhole edge from the inside out to create a faux ‘seam’ on the outside of the garment. The rest of the sleeves are worked from the top down in rounds, in a simple mesh stitch pattern. The cuffs are gathered into a neat 2x2 rib.
