Knitwear Staple: My DRK Everyday Sweater Journey

Starting a new DRK sweater project is always a creative adventure especially when it means picking a yarn that feels truly personal.  This time, casting on with the tweed mauve from my our collection feels like giving the sweater its own story—- full of soft flecks and warmth, with a subtle touch of fall’s favorite colors.  There’s nothing quite like seeing the stitches line up in a hue that feels both classic and uniquely mine, ready to become a cozy favorite for the season


This sweater is knit from the top down, which means you can try it on as you go and add length to suit your personal style. After knitting the yoke, you separate the sleeves and place them on hold while you finish the body.  Then, you return to the sleeves, picking up stitches for the underarm, resulting in a totally seamless, easy-to-wear sweater that can be a cozy and functional wardrobe staple suitable for daily use. 
I easily customized the DRK Everyday Sweater to my torso simply by adding 2 extra inches to the body length. This straightforward adjustment makes the sweater uniquely mine without complicating the pattern.  Plus, the mostly mindless knitting makes it an ideal project to enjoy while watching TV or as a relaxing companion on car rides, allowing me to knit without constant
Give the DRK Everyday Sweater pattern a try. It’s the perfect canvas to express your creativity— find a yarn color that speaks to your style and personality. 
Happy Yarning,
