BabyCocktails Chocolate Stout PDF

BabyCocktails’ Chocolate Stout is a fresh take on the “Grandpa” sweater. It’s a comfy, cozy cardigan with a distinct all-over texture. It features a deep ribbing with worked-in pockets that add to the vintage feel of the sweater. Waist shaping, a little unexpected detail under the arms, and a cozy but flattering modified dropped shoulder have been added to the classic silhouette to make it a bit more modern. Chocolate Stout is knit in one piece to the underarms, where the fronts and back are completed separately before being seamed together at the shoulders. Sleeves are knit separately and seamed in during finishing. The stitch pattern is in chart form only.
