ABOUT THE PROJECT
Off Shoulder Honey is a quick and fun project. The pattern is simple, and focuses on making the knitting process easy and accessible. It is knitted from the top down with a wide neckline that makes the sweater fall down around the shoulders. The model here is short, but you can easily knit it longer if you want. The yoke is knitted with raglan increases. Finally, an elastic thread is pulled through the cast-on edge. This way you can adjust how far you want the sweater to fall down around the shoulders.
I knitted mine in a mix of yarn scraps, with Drops Nepal and Drops Melody as the main yarn.
The recipe contains no abbreviations.
Positive ease Approx. 10 cm. Measure yourself at the widest point of your chest and add 10 cm to your measurement. Choose the size that is closest to your measurements or go down one size for a tighter fit, or up one size for a looser oversized fit.
