Level of Difficulty - Intermediate

This sweater is knitted with Adorn Cotton Cashmere DK on 5mm needles to give a floppy drape. It is knitted in reverse stocking stitch with a long faux rib waist band and faux rib sleeves with patterned trim at the drop shoulder edge on the body.

Sleeves are designed to be 3/4 length and baggy at the cuff, but can be made to any required length, as can the body of the garment. Allow additional yarn if you are making the sleeves or body longer.

Note: Because you are working with a larger needle than is normally used for this yarn, the garment will drop by approx 2cms (depending on your stitch tension) after wear and washing. You may wish to allow for this when working the sleeves and the body up to the armholes.
