For Irina, I discovered a delightful garter-and-slip stitch pattern that swatched up beautifully in the soft and lightweight Chickadee yarn by Quince & Co.. If you're a fan of cozy cowl neck sweaters, this design is perfect for you! The sturdy yet attractive texture stitch is ideal for a cowl neck that provides both style and warmth, making it a wonderful addition to your fall and winter wardrobe. The body of the sweater is expertly worked in stockinette stitch from the top down in one seamless piece, featuring flattering neck and waist shaping for a tailored fit. The cowl collar is cleverly picked up around the neck edge and then worked from the neck up in the eye-catching pattern stitch, creating a sophisticated and chic look.

This sample is shown beautifully knit in Chickadee by Quince & Co., in the vibrant shade of Peacock, which adds a pop of color to the design. This versatile yarn is perfect for showcasing intricate stitch patterns while remaining lightweight and breathable.

Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rounds = 4" in Stockinette Stitch. This gauge ensures that your finished project maintains its shape and fit, so be sure to check your swatch before starting!
