Three-Strand Sweater
Sweaters are such a classic hand knitted item, and working with three strands at once gives it a fun twist! Holding three strands together creates a bulkier project that works up faster while adding depth and interest to the color selection.
This pattern is worked in four panels and then assembled using mattress stitch. Stitches are picked up for the neck. The instructions employ fairly basic techniques including: K2tog, P2tog, SSK, and KFB. The "Three Strand Sweater Pattern" is appropriate for adventurous beginners looking to cast on a garment, and for more advanced knitters in search of a chill project.
