Rolf Sweater (English)
Rolf Sweater is a lovely textured children’s pullover worked in sections from top-down using various knit, purl and cable stitches. The upper sweater (both upper back and upper front) is worked in seed stitch. An eyelet border between stitch styles is worked with yarn overs creating a unique detail throughout the piece. The middle of the sweater is a cross-cable stitch pattern, and the lower sweater is worked in double irish moss stitch. Ribbed hems are the finishing touch for all edges.
