Monday Sweater

The Monday Sweater is one of those reliable, wear-it-on-repeat knits.

It’s worked from the top down with raglan increases, so you can try it on as you go and adjust the length to suit. The neckline is shaped with short rows at the back for a better fit, and the folded neckband gives it that clean, finished look.

Simple, classic, and the kind of sweater you’ll reach for constantly.

Yarn notes

This pattern is designed for a lighter yarn held together, but it translates really well to a single strand option.

Option 1: Held yarns (original look)

• a fine wool yarn
• held together with a silk mohair or halo yarn
• gives a soft, slightly fluffy fabric with drape

Option 2: Single yarn (great everyday option)

• a DK weight yarn is a really good match here
• you’re aiming for 21 stitches over 10 cm on 4 mm needles

This will give you:

• a slightly more structured finish
• a cleaner look without the halo

A quick tip before you start

If you’re going the DK route, this becomes a really great everyday sweater knit — a bit quicker, a bit more structured, and super wearable. (add 100 metres to the metrage required of the single strand if knitting a DK weig yarn)

If you want, I can tighten that DK suggestion even more to specific yarns you stock so it’s consistent across all your listings.
