Knitting pattern for Easy Peasy Rose Sweater

Here is the pattern for Easy Peasy Rose Sweater, the big sister to the popular Easy Peasy Rose Tee. The sweater is designed with an oversized fit of approx. 20 cm / 8 inches of positive ease, giving it a relaxed and comfortable feel.

It is worked in one strandnling No 4, our soft organic merino wool, held together with one strandnling No 12, our everyday cotton-wool blend. The combination creates a light and comfortable sweater, perfect for the changing seasons when the air is crisp and you long for soft warmth. Just like Rose Tee, Rose Sweater features wide rib edges, a simple and timeless silhouette, and a slightly defined shoulder line for a refined look. A versatile knit for your wardrobe, easy to style for any occasion.

Rose Sweater is part of our Easy Peasy series, and the pattern is written in a beginner-friendly language without abbreviations perfect for both new and experienced knitters looking for a cozy project with a beautiful result.
