Sporty 45 Pullover

$8.00

Sporty 45 (pullover) is a birthday collaboration between myself and Heather of Ewe Ewe Yarns to celebrate our 45th birthdays (we happen to be born in the same year, just a week or so apart)! Using Ewe Ewe Yarn’s “Ewe So Sporty” sport-weight yarn and taking inspiration from our 1979 birth year, this light-weight sweater vest has a retro vibe and a modern silhouette, created with simple knitting techniques.

There’s also a Sporty 45 cardigan-style. Patterns can be purchased separately or together for a discounted price.

This is the PDF version of the pattern. After going through the checkout you will receive an email with a downloadable PDF link. If you prefer to purchase through Ravelry, click here.
