ABOUT Drop in Dream sweater.
The first design in the Esenique Essentials series, created for beginners who want to learn how to knit all types of basic sweaters before tackling more complicated patterns. This classic drop-shoulder sweater features a unique shoulder seam that shifts slightly toward the back. Its unisex design makes it perfect for knitting one for yourself and another for someone special.
SKILL LEVEL: Adventurous beginners.
METHOD: The sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down, starting with back-and-forth rows and then moving to working in the round. It begins at the upper back, with shoulder shaping created using German short rows.
Stitches are then picked up from the shoulders to shape the neckline, and the front and back are joined to continue working in the round. The shoulder seam is slightly shifted toward the back. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knitted in the round, with decreases made along the way. Finally, stitches for the neckline are picked up and worked in 1x1 rib.
SIZES: This sweater is designed with approx. 13-25 cm/ 6-10 inches of positive ease.
I am wearing a size S and, I am 168 cm tall (5’6’’) with a 89 cm (35 inches) bust circumference.
Check out the chart on the photo (on Etsy or Ravelry) to help you decide which size (3XS-XXS-XS-S-M-L-2XL-3XL-4XL-5X-6XL) to choose.

Knitting is a journey, and I’m always learning, just like you. This grey sweater taught me to slow down and enjoy the process - it truly makes a difference in how smooth the fabric turns out! Never rush through something that brings you joy.
So take your time, savor each stitch, and I'll be here every step of the way to cheer you on 😊.
One of the best tutorials i’ve ever followed, very clear and easy to follow. Can’t wait for the yoke sweater tutorial ❤
Another wonderful pattern, already purchased and awaiting yarn. Thank you so much for all your patterns, I have already made the mellow mood sweater and top. They fit so perfectly and I have another mellow mood on the needles. Can’t wait to start this too. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 This project can definitely be addictive! Enjoy your knitting journey, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions along the way.

I haven't had the chance to visit Warsaw, but I've heard it's a beautiful city. Hope you get to see it soon! 😊
@@knitwitheseniqueOhh my bad 🤦🏻♀️ from the images I thought that’s where you were.
I love this ❤ please can you considering doing baby clothing knitting teachings also 🙏🏻 please
Thank you so much! I currently focus on adult patterns, but thanks for the idea!
I have bought your Mellow Mood pattern and can’t wait to start it and this also looks fun. But I am a new knitter and have only made socks so far. I’m afraid I may not have the skills for sweaters. Any advice?
The Mellow Mood sweater is a perfect first step! Once you finish it, you’ll feel more confident moving on to the Drop in Dream sweater 🙂
Thank you for the advice! Looking forward to making it:)
You talk too fast!
