The Vancouver Sweater was designed and knit during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. The sweater was inspired by the relaxed look of the crowds.
It’s a form-fitting, ribbed raglan knit in the round. The sweater is completely seamless, and is meant to be worn with some negative ease.
The pattern comes in several different sizes – 34″ – 36″ – 38″ – 40″ – 42″ bust.
The yarn pictured is Wollmeise 100% sockenwolle (525 m per 150g skein). But any fingering weight merino yarn of about 350 m per 100g would work.
It uses 2 skeins of the main colour and 1 skein of the contrast colour for sizes 34-38″. For the larger sizes you will need 3 skeins of the main colour and 2 skeins of the contrast colour.
The pattern is available in downloadable .pdf format for $5.00CDN.
