Deima's LUCKY sweater
The LUCKY SWEATER is a DEIMA classic, with an oversize fit, fun contrasting stripes and a garter stitch polo collar. The sweater can be knitted in cotton/merino or in wool/mohair, according to your wishes and needs. The cotton/merino quality is perfect if you're sensitive to wool and fantastic to wear in the warmer months of the year. The wool/mohair combination always works well, it's easy to keep and so comfortable to wear. Explore your local yarn store and go for your favorite yarn quality in your favorite colors, with this knitting gauge, there's plenty of great yarn alternatives, so that everyone can be included within their wishes and budget.
The sweater is knitted from the bottom up, starting in the round, and then divided when you get to the armhole, from here it's knitted back and forth until you reach the shoulder seam. The shoulders are knitted together, and then stitches are picked up along the armhole opening for the sleeves. Along the way, the stripes are created with a contrasting color and purl stitches. The final step is the garter stitch polo collar along the neck opening.
