Originally published in Knit Magazine No. 40, September 2011, Lord Loxley is now available here, Craftsy, Ravlery and soon through Knit Picks where you can choose yarn and purchase the pattern at the same time!
“Lord Loxley is a T-shirt styled hoodie inspired by my little son, Loxley, who is always on the move! I love hoodies as they are great for outdoors, but wanted a pullover that I did not have to take on and off my son, as he gets quite hot while running around! Hence the idea for a pullover with detachable sleeves!
Lord Loxley is knit from the bottom up, seamlessly & in the round, with a V-neck & hood. Sleeve are knit separately, seamlessly & in the round, with a striping pattern and snap tap sewn on after. Sleeves can also be hand sewn right onto the pullover, if desired. The pullover features a classic cable running up the front & back centers, then up & over the hood. 2x2 Rib is worked along the hem, cuffs, neck & hood edges.
This unisex pullover is fun to knit and will make a great addition to your little one’s wardrobe!
