Walking on the Moon

Discover this super quick and easy, entirely seamless knitting pattern that flies off your needles in (almost) no time! This project is perfect for knitters of all levels looking to create a cozy, stylish garment with minimal effort.

I absolutely love bulky knits for the way they showcase every stitch and shaping detail beautifully. For this project, I recommend Brooklyn Tweed’s Quarry, which is not only incredibly comfortable but also light as air. If you choose to substitute yarn, make sure to select a bulky weight for the ideal fit and comfort, or consider using worsted weight yarn held double for a similar effect.

When preparing your materials, you will need needles that produce the correct gauge for knitting both small diameter sections (such as the collar and sleeves) and larger diameter sections (like the yoke and body) in the round. Additionally, don’t forget to gather 7 stitch markers that are compatible with your large needles to keep your stitches organized as you knit.

Please remember to knit a swatch and wash it to accurately confirm your finished gauge. A small variation in gauge for bulky weight yarn can significantly affect the final size of your garment. For reference, my pre-washing gauge was 12 stitches per 4 inches, and post-washing it measured 11 stitches per 4 inches, which is an essential step that will save you time and frustration later on.

This pattern is designed to be worn with approximately 1-3 inches of ease, offering a relaxed and comfortable fit that is perfect for layering. Whether you’re heading out for a casual outing or snuggling up at home, this knit will be a stylish addition to your wardrobe.
