Set-In-Stone Sweater — A Perfect First Knit in Self-Striping Chunky Relaxed, flattering and wonderfully easy to knit — the Set-In-Stone Sweater is an ideal starting point for beginner knitters and a satisfying, low-fuss make for more experienced crafters. Simple stocking stitch lets the self-striping yarn take centre stage, while thoughtful shaping details create a boxy silhouette that works beautifully with tailored trousers or a neat skirt. Pattern Notes Semi-set-in sleeves and deep one-by-one ribs at the cuffs and split-seamed hem give this sweater its flattering, contemporary shape. A narrow one-by-one rib around the neckline adds a neat, polished finish. Straightforward construction throughout — a confidence-building knit from cast-on to cast-off. Recommended Yarn — DMC Brio XL We recommend knitting this pattern in DMC Brio XL, available at The Wool Shop. A chunky weight yarn with a beautiful self-striping effect, each ball is 100g / 155m — perfect for achieving the stunning colour effect this sweater is designed around.
