Electric Squeeze by Lena Mathisson features a notched collar, short sleeves and ribbed waist and is perfect for happy sunshine days.
The on-trend details don’t make this pattern any harder to knit, though; it’s straightforward and beginner-friendly, with clear, detailed instructions and stitch counts included throughout.
Construction: Electric Squeeze is worked top down, so you can try on as you go. German short rows are used to shape the neck; there is a link to a tutorial if you are unfamiliar with this technique (it’s not hard!). It is worked flat until the notched collar is complete and then in the round for the remainder of the sweater.
