Levi Sweater - Knitting Pattern (English)

This is a digital product. You will receive your pattern as a pdf for download.

Levi is an oversized, crew neck sweater knitted in a mix of wool and Alpaca for a soft and fluffy look. It is worked from the bottom and up in stockinette stitch. The body is worked in the round until the armholes, where the work is separated. Front and back pieces are finished off separately, working back and forth. The shoulders are knitted together with a 3-needle bind off. Stitches are picked up at the armholes for sleeves, and at the neckband for a ribbed collar. The sleeves and collar are  worked using Magic Loop technique. As a final (and optional) detail, freestyle your own unique embroidery with duplicate stitches.

Note: Pattern does not contain a guide or chart to make the embroideries shown on the photos.
