Curly sheep sweater
Introducing the Curly Sheep Sweater: a stylish short-length knit with a trendy polo neck and charming balloon sleeves, enhanced by cozy ribbed cuffs. This contemporary sweater design features a practical polo neck that is equipped with two snap fasteners, making it incredibly easy to slip the sweater on or off for a comfortable fit. The unique design of this sweater allows you to create it top-down, seamlessly integrating sleeves and body in a delightful Fisherman rib stitch pattern that provides just the right amount of texture and warmth. One of the great features of this pattern is its versatility; since both the body and sleeves are worked straight, you can easily extend their length according to your preference. Just remember to purchase more yarn if you decide to make it longer!
Yarn Requirements: For this beautiful sweater, we recommend using Lopi, Plötulopi (100% wool; 100g/3.5oz = 300m/328yds) in the stunning light bone colorway.
Yarn Weight and Amount: (Worsted / Afghan / Aran) You will need the following yarn quantities based on your size: 300 (300) 400 (400) 500 (500) 600 (600) g, which translates to 10.6 (10.6) 14.1 (14.1) 17.6 (17.6) 21.1 (21.1) oz. This corresponds to 3 (3) 4 (4) 5 (5) 6 (6) balls, or 900 (900) 1200 (1200) 1500 (1500) 1800 (1800) m, which is approximately 984 (984) 1312 (1312) 1640 (1640) 1968 (1968) yards.
Gauge Information: To ensure a perfect fit and drape, achieve a gauge of 10cm x 10cm (4’’ x 4’’) that measures 20 stitches x 40 rows when worked in Garter stitch after washing. For those using the Fisherman rib stitch, the gauge will remain the same at 10cm x 10cm (4’’ x 4’’) = 20 stitches x 40 rows after washing.
