ABOUT THE WORK
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: BEGINNER
Off Shoulder Honey is a quick and fun project. The recipe is simple and focuses on making the knitting process easy and accessible. It is knitted from top to bottom with a wide neckline, which means that the sweater falls over the shoulders. The model here is short, but you can easily knit it longer if you want. The carrier piece is knitted with raglan openings. Finally, an elastic thread is pulled through the opening edge. In this way, you can adjust how far you want the shirt to fall on the shoulders.
I have knitted mine in a mix of leftover yarn, with Drops Nepal and Drops Melody as continuous yarn.
The recipe contains no abbreviations.

Movement space: Approx. 10 cm. Measure yourself at the widest point on the chest and add 10 cm to your measurement. Choose the size that is closest to you or go down a size for a tighter version, or up a size for a looser oversize knit.
