Clicking needles – it's time for chunky wool sweaters! We've compiled five knitting patterns from the Kotona Neuleklubi selection that offer relaxing activities for darkening evenings.
Comfortably warm
Knitters looking for warm yet light clothing will surely love Heli Hottinen-Puukko's Latu sweater. The alpaca wool sweater is adorned with a delicate striped pattern, and its high collar provides extra protection against the cold winter wind.
The pattern covers sizes from XS to 5XL, and a clear size chart helps in choosing the right size. The pattern details the yarn consumption for each size – for example, an M-sized sweater requires about 350 grams of DK-weight yarn for the main color, and 150 grams for the stripe color.
The striped sweater is an unpretentious, relaxed classic knit. Alpaca yarn gives the knit a lovely softness. The pattern for the Latu sweater was published in Rakkaat kuviot & Vuokko magazine, where Vuokko's magnificent timeless patterns served as inspiration.
