Rhea Sweater Knitting Pattern

Hello knitters!  Today, I am sharing my latest knitting pattern:  the Rhea Sweater!

I put together this color palette using Lion Brand Jeans and Lion Brand Jeans Colors yarn last fall and just knew I had to make something special with it!  I played around with different stripe patterns and color work styles until I came to this beautiful pattern!

Stripes are so fun to knit, it makes it feel like you are working so fast because you can see each row and each stripe develop!  If you weave in ends while you go its even better :)

This sweater is available in 7 sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X
Finished Chest/Bust Circumference: 36, (40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60)”
Length from Underarm to Bottom Edge: 15.5, (15.5, 15.5, 16.25, 16.25, 16.25, 16.25)”
Sleeve Length from Cuff to Underarm: 17.5 (17.5, 17.5, 18.25, 18.25, 18.25, 18.25)”

This sweater is designed for a relaxed, regular fit. For best results, choose a size that is 4-6” larger (4-6” of positive ease) than your corresponding body measurements. For example, model is wearing size S, has a bust measurement of 34” so she is wearing this sweater with 6” of positive ease.
