Knitting Kit - Dustland Sweater by Stephen West

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry here. 

Pattern available in English. 

The Dustland Sweater is knit seamlessly from the collar to the bottom hem. This solid-colored sweater is ideal for DK or worsted weight yarn. Solid or slightly heathered yarns, such as La Bien Aimée's Corrie Worsted or West Wool's Tandem, highlight the crisp stitch definition. Simple stitches like seed stitch, diagonal ribbing, and broken ribbing are framed by garter stitch rows to create an easy-to-knit sweater. Try on the sweater as you go to adjust the length for a perfect fit. Once your Dustland Sweater is finished, you can also knit other patterns from the same collection — the Dustland Hat, the Dustland Shawl, or the Dustland Mitts — for a complete textured set!

Gauge

18 stitches & 32 rows = 10 cm / 4" in pattern, after blocking, with larger needles.

Width gauge is most important, as length is adjustable. Thus, a simple seed stitch square makes a reliable swatch.
