Ellie Sweater
Introducing the Ellie Sweater, an exquisite knit design that is seamlessly crafted from the top-down with a stylish folded neckline. Perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters, this pattern allows you to create a cozy and fashionable sweater that can be customized to your liking.
The Ellie Sweater is made using high-quality yarns from Biches & Buches. We recommend Le Cotton & Alpaca, which consists of 66% GOTS certified cotton and 34% Super Fine Alpaca, providing an exceptional softness and warmth. Each ball of yarn measures approximately 90m/98yds for 50g, making it easy to plan your project.
For the main color (MC) in Light Grey Blue, you will need 8 (9, 10, 11)(12, 13, 14) balls, which translates to approximately 720 (810, 900, 990)(1080, 1170, 1260)m or 787 (885, 984, 1082)(1181, 1279, 1377) yards. Please note that if you are using the MC yarn for the cuffs and hem, you will need an additional ball to complete your project.
The contrasting color (CC), in Off White, requires 3 (3, 4, 4)(5, 5, 6) balls, amounting to approximately 250 (270, 320, 360)(410, 450, 540)m or 274 (295, 350, 394)(448, 492, 591) yards. Keep in mind that you may need extra yardage of the MC yarn if you choose to extend the length of the body or sleeves for a more personalized fit.
When it comes to needles, this pattern requires a 4.5 mm (US 7), 40 ~120 cm circular needle for the ribbing of the neckline, upper yoke, hem, and cuffs. You can also use double-pointed needles (DPNs) or your preferred method such as Magic Loop for small circumference knitting. Additionally, a 5 mm (US 8), 40 ~120 cm circular needle is suggested for knitting the body and sleeves, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience.
Whether you're making the Ellie Sweater for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this versatile pattern offers a beautiful blend of style and comfort. Perfect for the chilly seasons, it's sure to become a cherished addition to your wardrobe. Don't miss the chance to knit your own Ellie Sweater today!
