Say hello to your perfect purple A line sweater! Designed to be knitted top down using the most beautiful purple and a grey/violet speckled Aran weight cascade wool (or in fact any beautiful colour Aran yarns of your choice).

This is a cozy chunky style knit using 5.5 mm needles (US ) it is a straight forward top down knit with the interest coming from a simple cable yoke which is then divided for the body and sleeves. The body then uses stockingnette stitch and flares gently into an A line body finishing with a funky garter hem.

The sleeves are then worked in towards the elbow and then straight into a gentle flare to the same funky garter hem.

The sweater is designed to be worn with positive ease so it is advised to choose a size 4 inches larger than your actual bust size.
