ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Kurt Sweater is knitted top-down in stockinette stitch. It is worked with one strand of mohair and one strand of sequin lurex held together. Start by working the back yoke, then shape the shoulders and part of the front. Continue by knitting the body and sleeves in the round. Finish with ribbed edges. Finally, knit the polo collar in ribbing.
The Kurt Sweater has a cropped, close-fitting silhouette for a feminine, 60s-inspired look
This pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters.
