Lolancha Sweater
Lolancha Sweater is knit with Manchelopis, an unspun yarn from the Manchega Sheep in Spain. This yarn creates a fabric that is lofty, warm, and light; perfect for a cozy bottom-up yoke sweater! I have some Manchelopis in the shop, so if you want to knit your Lolancha in it GET SOME HERE.
The yoke is worked with the Lolancha Stitch (yup, my alter ego Lola named that) that is a highly amusing textured stitch that involves slipping stitches and then dipping to “grab” them.
The pattern includes multiple video links to help you have success knitting your own Lolancha Sweater:
