Please note that this listing is for a PDF knitting pattern and not the finished sweater.
Do you enjoy knitting wonderfully fitting sweaters from the top-down with no seaming? Me too! The Jovis Duster is a seamless sweater, worked from the top-down in a delightfully easy to work faux rib pattern with an I-Cord edge, stockinette sleeves, and a picked up, ribbed front band. There’s a lot going on in this knit, and in the end, you have a beautiful statement piece that will keep you warm from top to bottom!
This pattern includes a detailed schematic and directions for knitting a swatch to help you verify your gauge, as well as practice the stitch pattern, the I-Cord Edge, and the I-Cord Bind-Off.
