Hannah Sweater by Petite Knit

Printed pattern – pattern will be sent by post

The Hannah Sweater O-Neck is worked from the top down. First, the back is worked flat with increases. Shoulders and front are worked from stitches picked up from the back. Stitches are then picked up around the armholes for the sleeves. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline and worked in double ribbing.

First, knit a swatch to determine the needle size that fits your gauge. Wash the swatch before measuring it.
