Here is a wardrobe essential for any baby, kid and teenager (yes, teenager!), as well as a stash-busting knitter’s best friend: a simple, clean, well-fitting sweater, with crisp jogless stripes (you will LOVE the simple technique I recommend in the pattern). With its extended sizing (12 sizes are included!), this pattern is full of tips, crystal-clear techniques and links to helpful video tutorials to achieve a truly well-finished project. And did I mention the 12 sizes? My inspiration for this design was the “marinière”, or Breton shirt, and being French with family ties to Brittany, I wanted to present you with my version of this unisex wardrobe staple. “Crozon” refers to the Presqu’île de Crozon, an enchanting peninsula on France’s Atlantic coast, in beautiful and wild Brittany. I spent many summers in this incredible place growing up and wanted to pay hommage to it. ~~ PATTERN NOTES: This sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, with some short row shaping below the neck band. At underarm level, the sleeves are separated from the body, and worked in the round, as is the body. Stripes are worked throughout the yoke, body and sleeves. SKILLS REQUIRED: Casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, knitting in the round, working with 2 colors, picking up stitches, short rows (detailed instructions and links to tutorials provided), binding off.
