Tic-Tac-Toe - Knitting Pattern

Tic-Tac-Toe has a playful and exciting pattern that is easy and fun to knit. The sweater is knitted in Kos from Sandnes Garn, which makes it soft and cozy.

The body is knitted from the bottom up, while the sleeves are knitted from the top down. The shoulder stitches are sewn together with a slip stitch which creates an "invisible" seam that looks knitted.

The neck can be folded inward and sewn on the wrong side if you want a lower neck.

Sample note:

Yes - it's boring! BUT since the sweater is knitted with two colors in the pattern/structure, most of us knit tighter than we do with stockinette stitch. It is therefore extra important to ensure that the sweater gets the correct measurements. It is more boring to end up with a sweater that doesn't fit :) Find out how many stitches you have in 10 cm of pattern knitting. If you have more stitches than what is stated in the pattern, you need to change to thicker needles, and vice versa.

A small but important tip: The sweater will look its best if the lightest color is used as the main color. The pattern will stand out much better then.
