Do you long for simplicity and life at a slower pace? A time when the only phone in your life was hardwired into your wall with a satisfying spiral cord that stretched through three rooms, and renting a movie was an exciting treat after a long week? Sometimes all the “instant” we have now is too much. Too many products to choose from, too many shows to instantly bing, too many things to cram into every day.

The Nineties sweater is a sweet moment of simplicity. Inspired by my favorite mail-order catalogues from the 90s: the ones where you lay onthe carpet circle everything with a pen, and then star your favorites. A simple oversize raglan with clean lines featuring a comfy cozy supersoft yarn, and finished off with a nostalgic mock rollneck. Pairs well with portable music players, chunky boots, and disillusionment.

Comment on this pattern page with your favorite nostalgic thing from the 90s! Was it a phrase? (Eat my SHORTS!!!) or a snack (Who remembers Kudos bars?!) or maybe a toy (rollerblades. MOON BOOTS!)

Sweater is worked from the top down, flat to start and then joined in the round at front when neckline shaping is completed.

This is an ideal pattern for a beginner!
