Single Pattern – September Knits – Rachael Reese – Cedar Gate Sweater

Cedar Gate Sweater by September Knits | This sweater has a lovely ‘sweatshirt-like’ fit and is the perfect over layer and companion for every hike, outside adventure, or a cozy evening at home. The extra depth in the armhole resembles that of a typical ‘sweatshirt’ making the fit very relaxed and free flowing. Cedar Gate’s fit is very similar to my Jensen Pullover, with added color-work for interest while knitting and wearing. This color chart is a great beginner color-work project, using only 2 colors at a time and hardly any floats to catch. The DK weight yarn worked up in a loose gauge makes this a quick knit, yet feels lightweight on the body, making this garment ideal for all occasions. This sweater has a top-down construction using short rows to shape the neck. Cedar Gate has a wider neckline with deep raglan lines to give this sweater a perfect sweatshirt feel. Slim fitting arms keep this sweater functional and ready for any activity.
