June sweater
Introducing the June Sweater, a beautifully crafted short-length knit that combines style and comfort. This chic sweater features a classic crew neck and short narrowing sleeves, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. The design is worked from the top-down using a delightful Stockinette stitch pattern, providing ease and flexibility in your knitting experience. The well-designed raglan construction utilizes M1L and M1R increases for a perfect fit that flatters various body types.
The neckline, cuffs, and hem of the June Sweater are adorned with a textured Rib stitch pattern, enhancing both the visual appeal and the quality of the garment. The body of the sweater is knitted straight, allowing for modifications in length as desired. If you plan to extend the body, be sure to estimate the required yarn accordingly for the best results. The June Sweater is a timeless knit, effortlessly pairing with your favorite outfits, whether it be jeans, skirts, or even layered over a dress.
**Yarn Suggestions:** We recommend using Drops Cotton Light, a luxurious blend of 50% cotton and 50% polyester. This yarn offers a perfect combination of breathability and warmth, with a generous yardage of 105 meters (115 yards) per 50g (1.8oz) skein. For this project, you will need colour no. 30 for an elegant finish.
**Yarn Weight (DK/Light Worsted):** For sizes ranging from Small to XXL, you will require approximately 400 to 600 grams (14.1 to 21.1 ounces) of yarn, equivalent to 8 to 12 balls. This translates to about 840 to 1380 meters (920 to 1510 yards) of yarn, ensuring that you have enough to create this stunning piece.
**Gauge:** Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 21 stitches by 28 rows over a 10cm x 10cm (4’’ x 4’’) square in Stockinette stitch after washing. Accurate gauge is crucial for ensuring that your final garment matches the intended measurements.
