Rolf Sweater adult (English)
Rolf Sweater (adult) is a lovely textured oversize pullover worked in sections from top-down using various knit, purl and cable stitches. This is the adult version of the children’s Rolf Sweater, also available as a knit pattern.
Both the upper back and upper front are worked in seed stitch. An eyelet border is worked between stitch patterns 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 moss stitch. Ribbed hems are the finishing touch for all edges, with double knitting before Italian bind off.
