Knitting Kit - It's not a Sweatshirt by Knitting For Olive

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

It’s Not a Sweatshirt is a basic and essential, relaxed-fit sweater, inspired by the classic hoodie. It is knitted in stockinette stitch, seamlessly, top-down and in the round. It begins with a folded ribbed neckline, then the neckline is shaped with short rows and raglan increases are made up to the armholes. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold to be knitted after the body is completed.

It’s Not a Sweatshirt is knitted holding two strands together throughout the project: one strand of merino and one strand of Soft Silk Mohair. You can easily add your personal and unique touch to this basic pattern by mixing colors and creating your own combination. The possible variations are endless!
