Strathcona Sweater Knitting Pattern

Strathcona Sweater Knitting Pattern (by Tara-Lynn Morrison)

Fancy knitting yourself a gorgeous, simple sweater? The Strathcona Sweater pattern, available through The Gilliangladrag LYS, is just the ticket! This delightful pattern guides you through creating a customisable sweater, knitted seamlessly from the top down. It features a smart ribbed mock neck, making it a stylish and comfortable piece for your wardrobe.

We think it’s absolutely perfect for showing off the beautiful texture of Malabrigo Rasta yarn or the luxurious softness of Mrs Moon Super Chunky Yarn. Imagine snuggling up in a hand-knitted jumper made with such lovely materials!

The pattern assumes you have a basic knowledge of knitting. You'll need to be comfortable with knitting, purling, increasing, and picking up stitches. But don't worry, the top-down raglan style construction makes it a relatively straightforward and enjoyable knit.

Here’s a breakdown of the finished garment measurements when laid flat:

• Sizes: (XXS/XS), S/M, (L/XL), (XXL/XXXL)

• Body Length (approx.): (46 cm / 17” ) 48.5 cm / 19” (51 cm / 21”) (58.5cm / 23”)
