Livin

Introducing LIVIN, the ultimate cozy sweater that you’ll love to knit and wear! This delightful pattern is perfect for both novice and seasoned knitters, offering a fun knitting experience right from the cast-on at the collar. With charming mini cable details and the joyous opportunity to mix and match colors, this sweater promises to become a staple in your wardrobe. For the perfect fit, it's recommended to wear it with at least 16—20 cm (6.25—7.9 in) of positive ease at the bust. Don’t worry, sizes are provided with ease already built in for your convenience.

LIVIN is designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable knitting process. You’ll begin by casting on at the collar, then casting on additional stitches for the shoulders to create the back portion, extending down to the desired length of the armhole. After completing the back, you will pick up stitches for the front neck, skillfully shaping it using short rows before working down to the armhole length as well. The body of the sweater is joined to be knitted in the round, continuing all the way down to the stylish bottom ribbing. Don't forget the sleeves! Stitches are picked up around each armhole, and the sleeves are crafted in a comfortable 2x2 rib pattern, finishing off this beautiful creation.

Gauge is crucial for achieving the best results, and for LIVIN, you’ll need a gauge of 23 stitches by 34 rows/rounds per 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in) in stockinette stitch on your main needle.
