GRAND CANYON SWEATER

The Grand Canyon Sweater is a tight fitting, lightweight and stylish sweater with flounce details and ½ length sleeves. It’s perfect for summer evenings or spring/autumn days with low key jeans or to compliment a nice skirt.

The sweater is knit top down and in the round with raglan increases leaving you very few ends to weave in (we love!)

The pattern starts with a fine ribbing neckline followed by stockinette over the body and delicate flounces to give a romantic look. The sweater is quite an easy knit if you are an experienced beginner :-) The pattern comes in seven different sizes; XS to 3XL.

I hope you’ll enjoy the #grandcanyonsweater as much as I have enjoyed designing it!

Happy knitting!
