The Abuela Sweater is the third addition to the growing Abuela collection. Worked in the softest alpaca, it makes for the perfect everyday cold-weather staple. It is worked by making the front and back separately, seaming the shoulders, and then working the sleeves from the top down directly from each side. Once the sleeves are complete, the body and sleeves are joined at the sides and you’ll then work the neck, cuffs, and hem ribbing.

Pattern includes instructions for alternative knitted neck as well as alternative yarns.
