Description

Do you have any scrap yarn left over from other projects? Or minis from an advent calendar that you do not know what to knit with? The Eve Sweater is an oversized, relaxed-fit sweater knitting pattern with modern drop shoulders and an oversized fit. It is perfect as a scrap yarn sweater pattern or an advent calendar knitting pattern. Using a seamless, top-down construction, this sweater is super fun and engaging to knit because of the fun multicoloured stripes! But don’t worry you can also knit it with just one contrast colour!

A textured pattern runs throughout the sweater, adding depth and visual interest to this striped sweater knitting pattern. The star feature of this design is its colorful stripes, making it the perfect canvas for advent calendar mini skeins or a great stash-busting project.

Ideal for knitters looking to create a memorable advent project or use up their yarn stash, each stripe offers an opportunity to showcase a new color. Whether you’re working with an advent calendar yarn set, a cherished collection of mini skeins, or leftover yarn from previous projects, this striped sweater pattern allows for endless customization. Create a different color for each day of advent, design a vibrant rainbow effect with your favorite hues, or mix and match neutrals for a sophisticated look.
