Eden is a drop-shoulder sweater knitted either flat or in the round featuring a slip stitch pattern knit on 5 mm needles to a 15.5 stitch per 10 cm gauge.
The pattern is written for 9 sizes with a finished garment chest size of 94 - 174 cm with a positive ease of ~ 25 cm. For a tighter fit, a smaller size can be chosen.
Notions required
4.5 mm knitting needles (these can be circular or straight)
3.25 mm circular knitting needles with a maximum 40 cm cord
5 mm knitting needles (these can be circular or straight)
Stitch marker
The pattern instructions are for knitting on straight needles (i.e., sewing the panels separately and sewing up) but it is easily adapted to be knit in the round should you prefer this.
Gauge
15.5 stitches x 22.5 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm
