Create this stylish batwing sweater using Sirdar Loveful 100% Double Knit. It has a crew neck with a batwing sleeve. There is a front and a back to this sweater, the sleeves are part of the front and back pieces
The construction is a traditional one, knitting a back and front and sewing them together. I always find mattress stitch the best way to sew up my garments.
Colour shown is Charcoal 112.

Skill level for the Sirdar Loveful 100% Recycled Acrylic Sweater Knitting Pattern
- Intermediate
- You are knitting up from the hem then increasing in 'pattern' for the sleeves then decreasing for the top part of the sleeve. You knit a front and a back then sew the underarm seams and shoulder and top part of the sleeve. With extra stitch increases at the end of each row it can be quite a stretch to keep track of the pattern repeat.
Kit includes
- 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 balls of Sirdar Loveful Recycled acrylic
