Rainbow Folk Sweater Adult Knitting Pattern

The Rainbow Folk Sweater is a really fun pattern to knit and it makes the coziest sweater.

Full instructions are given on how to make the sweater the perfect length. You may want it long, tunic style or you could make it cropped!

It is knitted flat and sewn together at the end. There is also an option to knit it bottom up, partially in the round for the intermediate knitter. You can find the instructions for this at the end of the pattern.

Yarn

This pattern uses 2 strands of yarn held together. 1 strand of DK and 1 strand of Worsted/ Aran weight yarn.

Here are the approximate amounts of each;

600 (650, 700, 750, 800, 850) g

In the pictures I have used a mix of mainly Malabrigo Worsted and Rios and have used 1 strand of DK from my stash. It is designed to use up your scrap yarn too so go wild!

Here are some of my favourite yarns;

Worsted/ Aran

Malabrigo - worsted

Malabrigo - washted

Malabriago - Rios

Brooklyn Tweed - Shelter

DK

Paintbox DK is great if you want a cheaper yarn to mix through for some amazing colour changes.

Retrosaria Brusca is a lovely DK.

Measurements (approximate)

The Rainbow Folk Sweater is designed to be slouchy and oversized.
