Harlow Light
Elevate your knitting projects with the stunning Harlow Light Sweater pattern, a delightful blend of simplicity and elegance. This beautiful design features striking lace panels that beautifully contrast with the smooth stockinette stitch, making it anything but plain. Harlow Light is a lighter version of the original Harlow, featuring a stylish drop shoulder design that offers generous positive ease in the body while the sleeves maintain a slim fit. This trendy sweater is meticulously worked flat to the shoulders, which are expertly joined using a 3-needle bind-off technique. After completing the body, you’ll pick up stitches for the sleeves and knit them down to the cuffs for a polished finish. The Harlow Light Sweater is designed to be worn with at least 6 inches (15 cm) of positive ease, ensuring a comfortable and fashionable fit. The sample shown corresponds to a size 44 inches (110 cm) with approximately 6 inches (15 cm) of positive ease, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
