Like a cloud, the Northwind Sweater is light as air. One strand of Alpaca Cloud and one strand of Aloft are held together throughout for the dark purple sample. The red sample uses Elixir on its own, which is a blend of three luxury fibers. Knit a large swatch to check gauge.

Northwind is knit in the round from the bottom up to the arm split where front and back are then worked flat. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves and neckline which are all worked in the round.

The sample is shown in Knit Pick’s Elixir yarn. You can also use Knit Pick’s Alpaca Cloud Fingering and Aloft held together for and overall halo effect.
