It’s officially sweater weather and we’re head over heels for Andrea Mowry’s new fingering weight Weekender Light sweater knit in Peerie by Brooklyn Tweed. This is a lighter weight version of Andrea's original worsted weight Weekender sweater, which is her most popular pattern. We went crazy for the original Weekender (many of you even joined in on our fun Weekender Knit Along!) so we're super psyched for this new version! | | You'll love knitting with Peerie by Brooklyn Tweed, the American fiber company's first merino yarn! A departure from Brooklyn Tweed's traditionally wooly textured yarns, this deliciously soft, fingering weight merino is smooth, strong, and delivers gorgeous stitch definition. Available in a wide range of jewel tones, soft pastels, and warm neutrals, we’re sure to have your perfect Peerie colorway. | | Weekender Light is a size-inclusive, positive ease sweater that incorporates figure flattering faux seams, a split hem and comfortable drop shoulders. It’s sure to become one of your most versatile wardrobe staples because it looks as good dressed up for the office as it does worn casually for relaxing on the weekends. | | The body of Weekender Light begins at the lower hem and is knit seamlessly in the round in reverse stockinette, which is simply the back side of standard knit stiches - the body is knit inside out! The yolk is knit flat then joined at the shoulders with a three-needle bind off to create a crisply defined seam. Sleeves are picked up and knit conveniently in the round. | | Weekender Light is designed for a wide range of bust sizes and yields a comfortable fit that’s flattering on every figure. It’s intended to be worn with about 10 inches of positive ease. To pick your best size, measure your full bust and add your desired ease, then pick the finished bust circumference closest to that number.
