The pattern is explained in detail and only uses the basics: knit, purl, increase and decrease. Holding two strands of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair together with one strand of Merino gives a soft, fuzzy halo that makes a simple shape feel special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater is knitted seamlessly in the round from the top down. You start at the high ribbed neck, work the yoke with raglan increases, then put the sleeve stitches on hold and knit the body down to a deep ribbed hem. Each sleeve is then worked in the round down to the cuff. It sits at the hip, and the length is easy to adjust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit includes the free PDF pattern and the yarn needed for your chosen size.

What began as a small line of baby and toddler knitting patterns grew into a full range of designs for children and adults, and in 2016 the family launched their own yarn, starting with Merino and later expanding to include Soft Silk Mohair, Pure Silk, No Waste Wool and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEthical production sits at the core of the brand. Knitting for Olive is certified to the Responsible Wool Standard and Responsible Mohair Standard, meaning their wool and mohair can be traced from farm to finished yarn, and their silk is produced cruelty-free using threads from cocoons the silkworms have already left naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its roots in Copenhagen and two physical stores in Denmark, Knitting for Olive has grown into a brand trusted by knitters worldwide for combining quality natural fibres with genuine care for animals, workers and the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knitting For Olive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58891832459645,"sku":"KSIMPLEASS26","price":86.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/7376\/8740\/files\/simple-and-simple-sweater-kit-kfo-merino-soft-silk-mohair-free-pattern-knit-with-me-2616472.jpg?v=1792442554","url":"https:\/\/knitwithme.co.uk\/products\/simple-and-simple-sweater-kit","provider":"Knit With Me","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
