Arwen
Arwen is a stunning round-yoked sweater designed for knitters who love seamless construction. Created to be worked from the top down, this versatile pattern features a variety of techniques that make it fun and engaging. After finishing the beautiful neck ribbing, you'll work short rows back and forth to achieve a higher back neck, ensuring a comfortable fit. The fun continues with a delightful round yoke worked from the top down, showcasing an adorable ‘bobbly’ lace pattern that beautifully frames the neckline and transitions to sleeve separation.
The pattern allows for customization with both short and long sleeved options. After the elegant lace detail, you'll place the sleeve stitches on hold and shift your focus to the body, which is knitted top down until it reaches a long, stylish 2x2 ribbed hem with light A-line shaping. Once the body is complete, the sleeve stitches are picked up again, allowing you to continue knitting the sleeves in the round down to matching 2x2 rib cuffs.
The sample is expertly knit using Manos del Uruguay Fino, which offers an exquisite drape and softness that enhances the overall beauty of this sweater. The yarn comes in a generous yardage of 490 yards (450 m) per 100g skein. For the short sleeve version of Arwen, you will need between 2 to 4 skeins, depending on your size, while the long sleeve iteration requires 3 to 5 skeins.
This stylish sweater is designed with a comfortable positive ease of 7.5" (19 cm) at the bust, making it suitable for various body types. Whether you're looking for a cozy layer for chilly days or a fashionable addition to your wardrobe, the Arwen sweater is a perfect knitting project. Grab your needles and get started on this beautiful top-down round-yoked sweater that you'll love to wear and show off!
