Named after that first hit of sour candy. Bold, bright, and completely addictive. The Sour Sweater is an oversized sweater knitting pattern knitted entirely in 2x2 rib for a chunky, textured look that works in every colorway. A mock neck and wide set-in sleeves give it that effortlessly cool silhouette, in a brushed alpaca blend that's soft enough to wear all day.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. You start with the back piece before picking up stitches for each shoulder separately and shaping the neckline opening with increases. The front and back pieces are joined under the armhole and the body is worked in the round. The sleeves are worked top down by picking up stitches.
