Twelve In One Pullover 411

Hand Knitting Pattern: Pullover sweater and cowl

Yarn weight: Aran (8 wpi)

Suggested yarn: 12 yarns in one giant skein, from HAND PAINTED KNITTING YARNS

You wouldn’t have to use the selected yarns included in this bundle. Consider this design as a stash buster! Put your beautiful odd balls to good use! Just pick 12 aran or worsted weight yarns, in same colour scheme.

This easy T-shirt style sweater is knitted sleeve to sleeve, all one piece. Just sew under the arms (and hem the collar). The stripe sequence appears to be random, but is actually using each of the 12 yarns in order and alternating knit and purl.
