After receiving numerous requests from discerning adult knitters, we are thrilled to introduce the cozy adult version of the beloved Lincoln Baby Sweater. This charming design features no buttons on the shoulder, allowing for easy wear—adults can effortlessly pull a sweater over their heads! The stylish split hem enhances comfort and flexibility, while the textured yoke pattern offers a delightful four-row repeat, ensuring enough engaging knitting to keep your hands busy while you enjoy movie nights.

The body begins with a split hem in a beautiful pattern stitch that sets the tone for this elegant piece. Once joined, the sweater is worked in the round until reaching the armholes. After this, the pattern divides for the front and back, allowing for a smooth transition into the yoke, which is crafted flat in a stunning textured stitch. For added convenience, the sleeves are picked up and knitted down, resulting in a seamless design that eliminates any need for sewing!

We recommend Semilla Melange, a delightful, lightweight, and lofty yarn that is GOTS certified. This yarn not only boasts breathtaking colors but also offers an impressive amount of yardage per skein, making it perfect for your knitting projects.

**Clarification on the Sleeve Cap:**

Row 1 (WS): Purl to the last 2 stitches of the armhole (just before the stitches picked up on the underarm), p2tog, and turn.

As of 8/22: We've reworked the wording in the “divide for front and back” section to enhance clarity and ensure that your knitting experience is enjoyable and straightforward.

This pattern is perfect for those looking to create a beautiful, practical sweater that combines style and comfort. Embrace your knitting passion and create a timeless piece that you’ll treasure for years to come!
