Materials Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in shades of moss green, cream, and chestnut brown
- Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
- Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Step-by-Step Instructions
Back Panel
- Begin by casting on 90 stitches using the moss green yarn.
- Work in 2x2 ribbing (knit 2, purl 2) for 2 inches.
- After completing the ribbing, switch to stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl the next) and continue knitting until the back panel measures 18 inches from the cast-on edge.
- Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely.
Front Panel
- Repeat the same instructions as the back panel: cast on 90 stitches with moss green yarn, work in 2x2 ribbing for 2 inches, switch to stockinette stitch for 18 inches, and then bind off.
Sleeves
- For each sleeve, cast on 40 stitches using the cream yarn.
- Work in 2x2 ribbing for 2 inches.
- Switch to stockinette stitch and begin increasing: every 6th row, increase 1 stitch at each end of the row until you have 60 stitches.
- Continue knitting until the sleeve measures 18 inches from the cast-on edge.
- Bind off all stitches loosely.
Assembly
- With the right sides facing each other, sew the shoulder seams of the front and back panels together.
- Attach the sleeves to the armholes, ensuring the seams are aligned, and sew them in place.
- Sew the side seams from the bottom of the sweater to the end of the sleeves.
Neckline
- With the chestnut brown yarn, pick up stitches around the neckline. Make sure to space them evenly.
- Knit in 1x1 ribbing (knit 1, purl 1) for 1 inch.
- Bind off loosely to maintain the elasticity of the neckline.
Finishing Touches
- Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a clean finish.
- Block your sweater to shape it properly and enhance the texture.
