Modern Girls

Modern Pixie
$6
Cosmopolitan

Modern Pixie
$6

Both sweaters feature a simple, yet stylish collar or cowl neckline, big colorful stripes, and a very simple silhouette.

The cowl neck can be made convertible as in the blue sweater above or continuous to keep you  warm while out and about.

These designs give you plenty of room to be creative with your colors – make them in a solid color, variegated, big two tone stripes, lots of random stripes, the sky is the limit.

These sweaters are worked from the top down and are completely seamless.

They are constructed using an amazing technique developed by Susie Myers, “contiguous set-in sleeves”, that allows shoulder shaping without using short rows.

These sweaters are a fast and satisfying knit, working up quickly at a gauge of 17 sts x 22 rows = 4 inches using aran weight yarn

We hope you will enjoy making both!

Length is measured from the base of the collar at the back to the end of the hemline.
