Afra Sweater

Introducing the Afra Sweater, a captivating knitting pattern that is designed to be worked seamlessly from the top-down, starting right at the neckline. This modern and stylish sweater allows for customization and creativity, making it a must-have addition to your knitting repertoire.

Yarn Details: For the Afra Sweater, we recommend using Cardiff Cashmere yarn, a luxurious option that boasts 100% Cashmere craftsmanship. Each ball weighs 25g and provides approximately 112m of yarn. For this project, you will need a total of 10 (11, 11, 12, 13) (14, 15, 16, 17) balls of color No. 717 SUDAN. In total, you'll require around 1120 (1200, 1230, 1340, 1450) (1560, 1680, 1790, 1900) meters or 1225 (1312, 1345, 1465, 1586) (1706, 1837, 1958, 2078) yards of yarn. Please note that these estimates are based on the finished dimensions; you may need additional yardage if you wish to extend the length of the body or sleeves for a personalized fit.

Needle Recommendations: For knitting the Afra Sweater, you will need a 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needle in lengths ranging from 40 cm to 120 cm for both the body and sleeves. Additionally, a 3.25 mm (US 3) needle is required for crafting the neckline and ribbing details. For smaller circumference knitting, feel free to use double-pointed needles (DPNs) or your preferred method, such as the Magic Loop technique.

This knitting pattern is ideal for both intermediate and advanced knitters looking to create a cozy yet chic garment that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Afra Sweater is sure to impress with its elegant design and exquisite texture.
