Product Description
With its relaxed ease and sharp structure, Kinsac is a practical and beautiful pullover perfect for layering. Details like two front pockets and fitted, ribbed cuffs make Kinsac an ideal sweater for working with your hands, or just enjoying a cozy stroll.
Kinsac is worked flat and seamed, and incorporates two colours of Hinterland Range for insartia detailing on the sleeve cuffs. The flattering, gently-sloped v-neck is picked up and worked after seaming, and looks equally polished with or without a collared shirt below.

Kinsac Sweater by Fiona Alice
What Is Being Made
Kinsac is a knitted sweater design available in four sizes, created by independent designer Fiona Alice. This downloadable PDF pattern provides comprehensive instructions for constructing a fitted pullover sweater suitable for intermediate-level knitters seeking a classic wardrobe staple.
Craft and Primary Technique
This project uses knitting as its primary construction method. The pattern is designed for knitters with intermediate skill level, indicating familiarity with fundamental techniques and ability to follow more complex stitch patterns and shaping instructions.
Stitches and Stitch Techniques
The Kinsac pattern incorporates several essential knitting stitches and techniques:
- Knit (K) stitches worked on the right side and purl stitches on the wrong side, creating stockinette stitch fabric
- Purl (P) stitches for textural variation and reverse stockinette sections
- SSK (Slip, Slip, Knit) for left-leaning decreases used in shaping and stitch pattern definition
- K2TOG (Knit Two Together) for right-leaning decreases essential to garment shaping
The pattern chart indicates strategic placement of these decreases throughout the design, with marked sections showing where decreases occur at specific row intervals to create tailored shaping.
Yarn and Materials
Kinsac is designed to be worked in worsted weight yarn, a versatile medium weight that provides good stitch definition and durability for everyday wear. The pattern utilizes Yarn A and Yarn B, indicating a two-color design that adds visual interest through color blocking or patterning. Standard knitting needles appropriate to worsted weight yarn are required to achieve proper gauge and fabric drape.
Pattern Structure and Sizing
The downloadable PDF includes detailed stitch charts and written instructions accommodating four distinct sizes. Sizes 1 and 2 share a combined chart, while Sizes 3 and 4 follow separate charting, allowing knitters to select the appropriate size for their desired finished measurements and fit preferences.
