Northwind Sweater
Like a cloud, the Northwind Sweater is light as air. One strand of Alpaca Cloud and one strand of Aloft are held together throughout for the dark pink sample. The red sample uses Elixir on its own, which is a blend of three luxury fibers. Knit a large swatch to check gauge.
Northwind is knit in the round from the bottom up to the arm split where front and back are then worked flat. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves and neckline which are all worked in the round.
The stitch pattern is written.
Some colors used in the samples are no longer available. We have made substitution suggestions in the Kit Builder below.
