Pattern | Truly Myrtle | Gingersnap

Like her sister sweater, Gingerbread, Gingersnap is destined to become one of your most worn comfy sweaters with a twist, certain to make you feel cosy and fabulous, whether you’re curled up with your knitting or heading out into the cold.

Striking chevron bands steal the show on this classic knit, and her generous crew neck adds warmth where you need it with a lovely scoop that retains her sister’s feminine feel.

Gingersnap has a boxy body shape and slim-line arms, making her flattering and easy to wear, and her cuffs, hem and neck are all finished with a tubular bind-off for a polished look.

Knitting seamlessly from the top, you’ll enjoy soothing, relaxing knitting all the way to the lace and cable bands.

Sleeves are picked up around the armhole, and the sleeve caps are beautifully shaped with short rows.

Instructions for the bands are charted and written.

Get ready to feel fabulous in your newest favourite knit.

Gingersnap is suitable for adventurous beginners to experienced knitters.
