Love Locks Sweater

**Love Locks Sweater** is an oversized knitwear piece designed with dropped shoulders, a round neck, and a flattering boxy silhouette. This cozy and stylish sweater features a recommended positive ease of about 10-20 cm (4-8 inches), ensuring a comfortable fit that can easily become a staple in your wardrobe. This pattern guides you through knitting the front, back, and sleeves of the sweater separately from the bottom up on straight needles. Once the shoulder seams are closed, the finishing touch is added by picking up stitches for the neck. The neckband is then knitted using circular needles, providing a seamless look that elevates the overall design. For those looking to customize their Love Locks Sweater, there are several exciting modifications you can make. Adding extra length to both the back and front parts, extending them up to the neck shaping, transforms this chic sweater into a longer, hip-length garment that pairs beautifully with jeans or leggings. For an even cozier feel, opt to knit a longer collar to convert the sweater into a stylish turtleneck jumper, perfect for colder days. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS XS (S-M; L-XL; 2XL-3XL):** - Chest: 82 (104; 126; 148) cm / 32¼ (41; 49?; 58¼) inches - Length to shoulder: 52 (54; 54; 56) cm / 20½ (21¼; 21¼; 22) inches This versatile and modern Love Locks Sweater knitting pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters looking to create a unique garment.
