Except for the trim in the upper section, you can knit this sweater very comfortably in front of the TV, because it’s simply knitted straight in stockinette stitch. Only from the armhole on do you need to pay a little attention and concentrate, because that’s where the Native American-inspired pattern begins.
This makes it a varied handicraft project, and the result is an extraordinary sweater.
To knit it, you will need:
- 400 g cotton in curry (Mayflower Junior Cotton 8, 170 m / 50 g)
- 100 g cotton in olive (Mayflower Rainbow Cotton 8, 170 m / 50 g
- 50 g cotton in red (Mayflower Cotton 8, 170 m / 50 g)
- 50 g cotton in turquoise (Mayflower Cotton 8, 170 m / 50 g)
- 50 g cotton in dark blue (Mayflower Cotton 8, 170 m / 50 g)
- 2.5 mm knitting needles
- 3.5 mm knitting needles
- colorful beads with holes that are not too small (2–4 strands of yarn should fit through)
The sweater can be knitted in sizes 36–44. The individual details for the different sizes are marked with different colors. In addition to a pattern diagram, the pattern also includes measurements and a gauge, so you can also knit the sweater with thicker or thinner yarn.
