MATERIALS

GAUGE
4”/10cm in stockinette = 24.5 sts and 34 rows

I suggest swatching to find a fiber that has a lot of drape in this gauge. I like to use wool blended with a bit of alpaca, which provides a lustrous drape and a soft halo.

PATTERN NOTES
This A-line sweater is worked in one piece from the bottom up, beginning with a garter-stitch hem shaped by increases, decreases and short rows.

The ¾-length sleeves are worked separately, then joined to work the yoke. The pattern provides options for tapered ¾- and full-length sleeves as well.

The sweater pictured in this pattern is knit using a 50/50 blend of Blue-faced Leicester wool and Alpaca I dyed myself!
