The Forage sweater is a Top Down Raglan pullover with a colourwork pattern incorporated into the raglan shaping at the top. It has some optional short row shaping before the hem starts to create a hi-lo bottom edge to the sweater and has an overall slightly cropped look (this can be customised to be more or less cropped).

This sweater is a great beginner colourwork project for someone who wants to expand their sweater knitting skills! You can use anywhere from 1 - 5 contrast colours for the colourwork portion of the sweater and this is a great way to use up some left over DK weight yarn from other projects or even some fingering weight held double.

PAY WHAT WORKS

I have created THREE coupon codes so you can either purchase the pattern for full price, or with 20%, 40% or 60% discounts. I wanted to provide this pattern with a range of pricing options as I know not everyone can afford patterns at full cost. If you would like to support my channel and the work I am doing, and you have the means to do so then paying for this pattern at one of the higher price points is a great way to do that.

The listed price most accurately reflects the time and work that went into creating this pattern, however, if this is not financially accessible for you then please use one of the codes below.

Sizes – The pattern includes 10 adult sizes ranging from 30 inches up to 64 inches. The sweater is intended to be worn with about 0-4 inches of positive ease so pick a size based on your preference; sizes shown are finished garment sizes.

Please note that sizes 30 and 33 will only have three of the chevron repeats in the yoke of the sweater and the size 37 will have 4, all other sizes will have 5 as shown in the pattern photos. (please see the project photos from other knitters to see how the smaller sizes knit up) This is because the smaller sizes do not have enough space in the yoke for a full 5 repeats of the chart pattern.
