Alpaca Yarns 1416 Whisper Open Knit Sweater
Open Knit Sweater – Alpaca Yarns Knitting Pattern
Add a little texture to your everyday wardrobe with the Open Knit Sweater. Bands of garter stitch alternate with elongated stitches to create an airy, open fabric, complemented by deep ribbed trims, long sleeves and a classic crew neckline. Its relaxed fit makes it lovely for layering over a simple top or camisole.
Worked flat in pieces and seamed, this intermediate design uses yarn wraps that are dropped on the following row to form the open stitch detail. A satisfying project with an easy-to-repeat texture and a soft, floaty finish.
