Friendship Road Sweater

Knitting enthusiasts today gather at events all around the globe, from cozy retreats and interactive workshops to vibrant markets and educational classes. This flourishing community of knitters is a relatively new phenomenon that didn’t really take shape until about 20 years ago, and it's this interconnectedness that serves as my inspiration for this unique sweater design. Picture a passionate knitter embarking on a journey to an exciting knitting event, only to be joined by a close friend. Together, they explore the diverse landscapes of knitting culture across the country. Just like in life, the journey is so much richer and more enjoyable with someone special by your side—someone to share laughter with, to navigate the unexpected detours, and to lend support both in stitches and in spirit.

**GAUGE:** Achieve a joyful knitting experience with a gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch, translating to 5.5 stitches and 7.5 rows per inch (2.5 cm) for precision in your crafting.
