Shelob Sweater

Designed by Afifa Sayeed 


Named after the ancient, frightening fictional character in J.R.R Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings, the Shelob Sweater takes seasonal dressing to another level. A dramatic drop stitch yoke nods to mesmerizing and resilient spider webs. From there, shadowy knit-purl spiders dangle down to decorate the body of the sweater, as well as the sleeve cuffs. Knitted in two thrilling seasonal shades of our cozy, warm Deluxe Worsted, this sweater is guaranteed to be your new October favorite!

PATTERN NOTES
This sweater is knit seamlessly in the round from the top down. A drop stitch circular yoke creates the ‘web’ with raglan increases continuing the armhole and bust shaping. Stitches for the body and sleeves are separated at the underarms. The body is worked in the round first, then sleeve stitches are returned to the needle and worked in the round. Please note that the Spider motifs are charted only.
