0143 Sweaters Just for Jeans

Description

Let’s face it, you can wear these sweaters with what ever you want. I’m most relaxed in jeans. They are comfortable and fun to wear. 

Let’s start with a simple, easy fitting sweater. The style is a drop shoulder sweater. The difference between this sweater and any other drop shoulder is the top of the sleeve. A small amount of shaping at the top will lengthen the center of the sleeve to give more ease over the elbow and eliminate the strain at the shoulder seam.

You can knit the sweaters in stripes, add cables or embroidery on it. At the end of the patterns are variations to this easy sweater.

Knitting the sweater in sections and using sew-as-you-go, will let you knit different designs and colors with ease. Embroidery adds another color and texture to your sweater.
