EXP Sweater Kit - Purlfect Pink Fade

Our Purlfect Pink fade version kit for Sanna & Co's EXP Sweater includes both the yarn & pattern to make this stunning design. 

Kits will be dyed-to-order and will ship within 14 days.

We are pleased to have collaborated with Australian knitting podcast Purlfect Pairings and knitwear designer Susanna Kaartinen of Sanna & Co, to create nine kit options for Susanna's gorgeous EXP Sweater.

The EXP Sweater

The EXP Sweater is a reversible, cropped, 3/4 sleeved design with a fun design, which is as fun to knit as it is to wear.

It has a unique shaping with a subtle batwing shape.  It is knit top down and in the round.  After completing the folded collar and yoke, body and sleeves are worked separately and in the round.  As a final step, raglan panels are grafted together to close the side seams.

It is worked primarily in Two-colour Shaker Stitch, with alternating rounds of Yarn A as Main colour (MC) and Yarns B-E for a faded colour version as a Contrast colour (CC).

(Alternatively it can be knit in just two colours, using just a single colour as Yarn B for the Contrast colour, for which we have separate kits available).

Beginning of collar and ribbed hem and cuffs are worked with Yarn A only.
