One Sweater V-Neck [PDF]

One Sweater is an ongoing design project from The Fibre Co. inspired by the idea of a single sweater worn and loved by people of all ages and from all walks of life. One Sweater V-neck which was designed by Becky Baker continues the series in its timeless raglan design that is for all genders and is offered in an extended range of 15 sizes. The added flexibility of our two-length suggestions allows you to tailor your sweater to your own measurements as you try it on as you knit. An accompanying video series walks you through every step of the pattern, making One Sweater a fantastic project for first-time sweater knitters.

One Sweater V-neck is knit holding two different yarns together. Our green sample is knit with Cirro and Arranmore Light and our orange sample uses Cirro and Meadow together. Each of these yarns has its own unique characteristics, and when combined they create a thicker fabric with the qualities and characteristics of both yarns. The warmth and volume from Arranmore Light knit with the fuzzy softness of Cirro merge to a wonderfully cosy, heathered fabric, whereas Cirro combined with Meadow creates a lighter weight garment with a beautiful drape.
