The Knitter Issue 141
THE FIBRE CO.One Sweater
THE FIBRE Co. set out to create a
go-to sweater for everybody - and
this is the result! Presented in 13 sizes,
from child’s age 1-2 to adult’s size
54-56in, it’s a comfortable, gender-
neutral design that anyone will love
to wear. This project is knitted in
Cumbria, a worsted-weight blend
of merino and Masham wool with
mohair, which comes in a palette of
colours inspired by the Lake District.PATTERN NOTES
