The Salinette sweater is inspired by the one I used to borrow from my mom when I was a teenager , the perfect combination of elegance and comfort.
Perfect to keep you warm from head to hands during winter days.
It’s a drop-shoulder sweater, so it is worked flat for the yoke, then in the round for the rest of the body and the sleeves.

Techniques covered:
Knitting stockinette stitch in the round and flat, picking up stitches, double knitting (in the round and flat), simple ribbing, understanding how blocking works and why a gauge swatch matters (for this sweater, it’s important since it stretches quite a bit after blocking).
If you would like the sizes to be extended (more than 2XL) please feel free to message me. I will be adding more in the future :)
