Yarn Substitutions:
- Rowan Soft Bouclé: Made from a luxurious blend of 45% Cotton, 23% Alpaca, 22% Wool, and 10% Polyamide, this yarn comes in 50g balls with a length of 109 yards (100m). Perfect for achieving that fluffy look!
- Berroco Pirouette: This yarn boasts a combination of 41% Baby Alpaca, 41% Merino Wool, and 18% Nylon. With 140 yards (128m) in each 50g ball, it's an excellent alternative for added warmth and softness.
- Any fuzzy bouclé yarn: Look for a 10-ply Aran or Heavy Worsted yarn that mimics the charm of home-spun yarns for an artisanal touch.
The construction of this sweater is both intuitive and beginner-friendly. The sweater is crafted entirely in the round, starting from the neckline and working downwards. This technique not only minimizes seams but also allows you to try on the garment as you knit, ensuring a perfect fit.
For sleeve increases, the pattern incorporates simple yarn overs (YO’s), giving a lovely, delicate touch to the sleeve structure. Additionally, the shaping for the collar is achieved using German short rows, which provide a seamless and professional finish, making this pattern suitable for knitters of all skill levels.
