Don’t worry, it doesn’t actually look like this in Toronto right now – I took these photos way back at the tail end of last winter! Then I decided since the warmer weather was coming, I’d sit on the pattern for a little awhile. It’s the perfect time to knit one of these up now. When the chilly weather arrives you’ll be ready to go!
LUTHERIE
A perfect layer for those extra-cold days or as a cozy jacket, this top down sweatercoat is sure to find a perfect spot in your wardrobe! Two strands of worsted weight yarn are held together for a cozy marled look and warm fabric.
Shaped through the waist for a fitted look, and knit in one piece from the neck down with shaped buttonbands for a fun twist – they incorporate short rows so that they’re wider towards the bottom of the sweater. You can customize the length of the sleeves and body easily and it’ll still knit up quickly and easily.
