The Alpaca Pullover
Thanks Ann, for ordering this pattern before it was even written up. You’ve encouraged me to go ahead and pursue the pattern designs. I’m actually getting excited about all of this!
This one is a tiny bit more complicated because of the set in sleeves and perhaps a bit unusual where the shoulder buttons up, but it’s still easy to knit by following the instructions and images. I’ve also included line drawings of the shapes for reference. There are no fancy stitches and the pattern is easy to memorize.
You can purchase the Knitting Pattern, or The Handspun Yarn, or the Kit, or even the finished Handknit Sweater in 2 Sizes and Colours (oops one has sold but there is still one left – Jan 2013) at Nancy Elizabeth Designs.
I love that this little pullover is so dressy and looks so good on a little boy.
Size: Newborn (3-6 months, 9-12 months, 18-24 months)
Gauge: 20 sts and 32 rows per 10 cm (4 inches)
Here I am knitting it again in handspun Eastport Alpaca & Merino wool. So amazingly soft I can’t stop knitting! or spinning!
