Yarn Use fingering weight yarn, with a total requirement of approximately 1155 (1270, 1390, 1530, 1690) to 2470 yards / 1055 (1160, 1270, 1400, 1545) to 2255 meters. This pattern calls for 3 (3, 4, 4, 4) to 6 (6, 6, 6) skeins of Illimani Yarn Sabri I, which contains 85% Organic Cotton and 15% Baby Alpaca. Each skein measures 437 yards / 400 meters and weighs 100 grams. The sample shown is in the beautiful shade of 38 Light Grey, perfect for showcasing your knitting skills.

Pattern Notes This engaging pattern begins with the hem, which is worked in two separate pieces that are later overlapped and joined together at each side. Following the hem, the body is worked in the round until reaching the armhole shaping. Both the front and back of the body are then crafted flat, adding dimension to your finished piece. The shoulders are seamlessly connected using the efficient Three Needle Bind-Off technique, ensuring a clean finish. The sleeves are initially worked in the round and then transitioned to flat knitting as shaping for the sleeve cap begins. Once completed, the sleeves are thoughtfully seamed into the armholes, providing a tailored fit. Finally, stitches are picked up around the armholes to finish off the elegant neckband, completing your stunning garment. When determining the gauge for the Bias Pattern, remember that stitch and row counts should be measured on the bias—this means measuring at an angle rather than vertically or horizontally. This crucial step ensures accuracy and maintains the integrity of your project. Enjoy creating this beautifully designed piece that showcases both your knitting prowess and the luxurious feel of organic cotton and baby alpaca yarn!
