Alfama Sweater
Pattern Notes:
The Alfama Sweater is chunky and oversized and made bottom-up in the round. The front and back are worked flat after the body, and shoulders are seamed using the 3-needle bind-off technique. Stitches are picked up in the round for the turtleneck, as well as for each sleeve. Length is customizable, but the pattern provides two different length recommendations: a cropped and long version.
Sizes:
XS(S)M(L)XL(2XL)3XL
(Please note that size 3XL has not been tested. If you’d like to test knit this size, please email me at renewalcollective1@gmail.com)
Yarn:
Any bulky weight yarn that meets gauge. (You can also hold more than one strand of thinner weight yarn to achieve gauge). Yarn approximations are based on the long length. For the cropped length, subtract approximately 100-200 meters from the yarn recommendation.
XS - 750 meters
S - 775 meters
M - 830 meters
L - 870 meters
XL - 890 meters
2XL - 900 meters
3XL - 920 meters
Other Materials:
Scissors, darning needle, removable stitch markers, cable needle close to 9 mm knitting needle in size, a crochet hook around N/15 or 10 mm in size, and measuring tape.
Optional: A pen and paper to keep track of rows.
