Hi friends! What’s your go-to tip for avoiding holes when picking up stitches? #knitting #whatsonmyneedles #novicesweater #petiteknits

Black merino/mohair novice sweater being worn

Flat-lay of the sweater on a bed.

Closeup of the modified collar, which was knitted longer to fold over as a turtleneck collar.

Closeup of the sleeve with twisted 1x1 ribbing.

It fits! 🙌

This is the #noviceSweater by Petite Knit, made in sizes XS/S.

I used black superwash merino from a frogged (abandoned) project, held together with a strand of silk mohair.

Collar modified to a turtleneck, and body/sleeves knitted shorter to account for superwash growth.
