As a knitter, I don’t think there’s anything more useful than patterns for perfect basics. Once you’ve got the perfect hat, the perfect sweater, or the perfect pair of socks, the opportunities for creativity and customization are limitless. So, when The Purl Bee tweeted a link to their sweatshirt sweater knitting pattern this morning, I got really, really excited. With or without the optional pocket, this sweater seems to have all of the makings of a comfy classic.
