Kemper in the City sweater pattern PDF
Kemper in the City is a fitted everyday sweater that can easily be dressed up or down for an afternoon with friends, a day at the office or a date night. The fitted (but super stretchy!) sleeves and lower-body feature crisp twisted ribbing with a front motif twist, while the plain upper-body is the perfect canvas for your favourite speckled yarn. Make it sparkly for extra sass!
Kemper in the City is a seamless sweater, worked in the round from the top down with raglan shoulder shaping.
