Hannah Sweater O-neck Petite Knit - (8ply Adult)

The Hannah Sweater O-neck is a relaxed, oversized sweater worked from the top down. The back yoke is worked first, flat and back and forth, with increases to shape the shoulders. The shoulders and front yoke are then worked from stitches picked up along the back yoke.

The body is worked in the round, and the sleeves are picked up and knitted down from the armholes. To finish, stitches are picked up around the neckline and a structured double rib edge is worked.

This design features a generous fit with strong, clean lines and a modern oversized silhouette.

Size Guide

The Hannah Sweater O-neck is designed with approximately 35 cm of positive ease in the smaller sizes, gradually decreasing in the larger sizes.

Choose your size based on actual bust measurement rather than ready-to-wear sizing. Knitting to the correct gauge is essential for achieving the intended fit. Always wash and block your swatch before measuring.
