{"product_id":"vertical-stripes-sweater","title":"Vertical Stripes Sweater","description":"\u003cp\u003eTextural, oversized, and endlessly wearable — The Vertical Stripes Sweater is a study in understated elegance. Worked bottom up in a classic (k4, p4) rib, the vertical lines create a beautifully structured fabric that elongates and flatters. Sleeves are picked up around the armhole and worked in the round, and a neat neckband finishes the neck opening — meaning almost no seaming or finishing required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Petite Knit, this is a rewarding intermediate knit that rewards patience at the blocking stage — the rib will bloom and relax into its full, gorgeous shape once washed and blocked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePattern Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottom up, (k4, p4) rib throughout; sleeves picked up and worked in the round; neckband worked last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal — almost no seaming required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e ★★★ (3 out of 5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn: Fingering Weight (4 ply) and Lace Weight (2 ply) held together or a DK single strand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Note on Blocking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this sweater is worked in rib, it will appear quite narrow on the needles. \u003cstrong\u003eBlocking is essential\u003c\/strong\u003e to achieve the correct measurements.
