Knit Today

This handy leaflet includes two patterns for easy-to-knit sweaters – one for him and one for her – worked in Wendy Serenity, a 70% acrylic, 20% alpaca and 10% wool yarn. It’s machine washable, so is perfect to use for this everyday sweater design as it will be a garment that’s easy to care for and maintain. The man’s round-necked sweater is a straightforward, classic design, worked in the Cork shade. There are lots of other colours to choose from in the Wendy Serenity range, so even if this one isn’t his cup of tea, you’re sure to find one that is. The pattern uses five to six 100g balls for a short version of the sweater, and six to seven for a longer style. It’s brought to life in simple stitches, so it’s a perfect project for knitting newbies.
