Sock Arms

a self-striping hooray

$7.00

This sweater is meant for those special skeins of self-striping or gradient yarns that you don’t want to hide in your shoes. The Sock Arms Pullover is designed for sock yarn lovers who are looking for a non-sock project. The specially modified, set-in sleeves are SEAMLESS and simple to knit (like turning the heel of a sock, in fact). The modified sleeve cap allows for uninterrupted stripes on your sleeves. Finally…FUN SLEEVES! This sweater is knit from the bottom up, in the round. It includes waist shaping and instructions for adjusting the circumference of your sleeves. It has instructions for adjusting the fit for your body, so that you can increase/decrease the ease of your sweater. Did you know there is a Kiddo version of this pattern?
