Chocolate Stout
Chocolate Stout is another translation on the Grandpa Sweater. It’s big and comfy, with distinct allover texture in a cable pattern that’s easily memorized and fun to knit. It features a deep ribbing, a cowl collar, and pockets that add to the vintage feel of the sweater - and sleeve shaping is worked in an unexpected rib detail under each arm, just for fun. It’s knit from the bottom up in one piece to armholes, then continued in 3 pcs to shoulder. Arms are worked separately and seamed to body and collar is knit on last.
