Knitting pattern for The Gang sweater. It is especially soft, cozy and simple piece for every day outfit. Alpaca and merino yarn is very pleasant for touching and knitting. This sweater is so simple and charming that it fits well for wearing at different moments: with denim, skirts, dresses, shorts, both in summer and winter.
Sweater is knitted in Raglan rounds with stockinette stitch and finished with rib stitch in rows. Collar is also knitted with rib stitch. Since sweater is knitted with Wool and the gang Feels good yarn using 5 mm (US 8, UK 6) needles the knitting process goes fast and easy and it seems that you don’t feel how stitch by stitch slips through needles and sweater grows unnoticed. It is a project which is really possible to be done trough a weekend. Because of fluffy yarn this finished sweater looks very light and is lightly felt while wearing.
