This beautiful design begins at the neckline and is worked in garter stitch, allowing for a lovely texture that enhances the overall aesthetic.

A delicate i-cord edge delivers a polished finish, making this garment not just functional but a statement piece in any wardrobe. Experience effortless knitting with no fuss, just timeless beauty. **Yarn Information:** For this lovely sweater, we recommend using *DROPS AIR* yarn in a stunning medium grey. Each skein contains 50g and measures 150m, with an approximate total usage of 300g for sizes S (350g for M, 400g for L, 450g for XL, and 550g for XXL). The luxurious feel of this yarn will add comfort and style to your finished top. **Needle Requirements:** To create this beautiful garment, you’ll need 5mm long circular needles (80-100cm) for the body, 5mm short circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPNs) for the sleeves, and 4mm shorter circular needles for the neckline. **Gauge Specifications:** Achieve the correct fit with a gauge of 15 stitches and 26 rows over a 4x4” swatch, using the larger needles in garter stitch. Ensuring your gauge matches this will help you create a sweater that fits beautifully. **Notions Needed:** Get ready to knit with a few essential accessories: 4 stitch markers and either a stitch holder or some scrap yarn will be handy throughout your knitting process. **Size Availability:** The *Top-Down Garter Knit Sweater* pattern offers a variety of sizes: S (M, L, XL, XXL). The included sample showcases size L, but thanks to the top-down construction, adjusting for larger sizes is a breeze! **Dimensions:** The final dimensions are as follows: Bust measurements are 88 (96, 109, 122, 136) cm with lengths of 50 (53, 54, 56, 57) cm.
