Alpaca Yarns 1417 Whisper Texture Sweater or Vest

Texture Sweater or Vest – Alpaca Yarns Knitting Pattern

Colour and texture come together in this versatile two-in-one pattern. Choose a long-sleeved sweater or a layering vest, both featuring a flattering V-neck, ribbed trims and three-colour panels. Alternating bands of moss stitch and stocking stitch add interest while letting the yarn’s fluffy texture shine.

Go bold with contrasting shades or keep things subtle with complementary tones. Both styles are knitted flat in pieces and seamed, with the neckband worked in the round. A lovely project for intermediate knitters who enjoy mixing colours and stitches.
