Date Debrief is the sweater I'm wearing to brunch with my mates on a Sunday morning as we dig into life's gossip.

This sweater is worked flat from the bottom up. The front and back are cast on and worked straight to the armholes in a stripe sequence and slip stitch pattern. Stitches are then cast off for each side, armholes decreased and worked straight to the shoulders, which are shaped using short rows. The sleeves are worked flat from the cuff up and shaped at the top. Stitches are picked up for the neck and worked in the round to form the neckband.

The shape of this design in simple and I think it could look amazing on a man's frame as well. The textured stitches give it tons of personality and coziness.

A Walk in the Park is part of the design collaboration between A Yarn Story and Erika Knight using our in-house yarn, Origin. You can find the rest of the collection here.

Yarn bundle includes yarn only, pattern is sold separately and can be purchased here.
