Full size chart and garment measurements below.

Pattern includes both solid and striped versions of this sweater.

 

The Sweet Escape Rhinebeck Sweater is all about bold stripes, unexpected color combinations, and that perfectly oversized fit. With its slouchy silhouette, dropped shoulders, and playful mix of colors, it's a sweater that stands out without trying too hard. Knit in our soft Dream merino, it's comfortable, lightweight, and easy to wear on repeat.

The body is knit flat from the bottom up, with sleeves picked up and worked in the round from shoulder to cuff. The simple construction makes this an approachable next sweater if you already know how to knit and purl. And with so many possible color combinations, you can make it entirely your own.

Need a little help along the way? Our complete start-to-finish video tutorial (see below) walks you through the solid-color version of the sweater. The construction is exactly the same for the striped version—just follow the color changes specified in the pattern to create your stripes.
