Alcomar

Discover the beauty of Alcomar, a stunning knitting pattern designed to be worked from the top down using the innovative contiguous method. This technique features elegant short-row shoulder and neckline shaping, creating a stylish fit that flatters a variety of body types.

Body shaping in the Alcomar sweater is expertly achieved with sets of paired decreases and increases, ensuring a seamless and polished finish. Initially, the top front and back sections are worked flat up to the underarm, where they are then joined to create a continuous garment worked in the round. This design not only enhances the knitting experience but also provides a sleek silhouette and modern look.

To achieve an exceptionally airy knitted fabric, this pattern recommends a loose gauge, resulting in a drapey sweater that exudes both casual comfort and playful elegance. Perfect for layering or wearing on its own, the Alcomar design is suitable for various occasions, from cozy gatherings to casual outings.

The sample for this pattern was expertly crafted using Madelinetosh Dandelion yarn, which highlights the intricate details of the design. For those looking for alternatives, a suggested substitute yarn is provided below, ensuring everyone can find the perfect match for their project.
