White sheep sweater
Introducing the stunning **White Sheep Sweater**, a trendy short-length knit that features a charming mock neck and elegant long balloon sleeves adorned with snug rib cuffs. The mock neck beautifully hugs the neckline, offering a feminine touch that's perfect for any occasion. This fashionable jumper is crafted from the top down, allowing for a seamless knitting experience. The sleeves are integrated with the body, all worked in the stylish **Fisherman rib stitch**, providing both comfort and texture. Because the body is knit straight, you can effortlessly adjust the length to suit your preference, though be sure to purchase additional yarn if you wish to extend it. The White Sheep Sweater pairs exquisitely with high-waisted jeans or stylish shorts, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Ideal for both casual outings and dressed-up occasions, this sweater is a must-have for any knitting enthusiast looking to create a chic and fun piece.
**Yarn:** For this project, we recommend **HipKnit's Hip Wool**, made from 100% premium wool (50g/1.75oz provides approximately 80m/87yds). Select the lovely **Mocca Ice Cream** color to elevate the style of your White Sheep Sweater.
**Needles:** To create this beautiful knit, you'll need: 1) 5mm (US8, UK6) circular needles (40-60cm/16-24in) and a set of 5 double point needles sized 20cm (7.75in). 2) 6mm (US10, UK4) circular needles (40-100cm/16-39in) to achieve the desired result.
**Gauges:** It’s crucial to ensure your gauge matches to achieve the perfect fit. Gauge for Stockinette stitch is: 10cm x 10cm (4’’ x 4’’) = 12.5 stitches x 22 rows after blocking. For the Fisherman rib stitch, your gauge should be 10cm x 10cm (4’’ x 4’’) = 11.5 stitches x 26 rows after blocking. By following this pattern, you'll create a stylish and cozy sweater that is sure to turn heads!
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, the White Sheep Sweater is an enjoyable project that delivers a fashionable and functional result. Explore your creativity with this delightful pattern!
