Weekend Sweater in Alpaca

Weekend sweater is knitted from the bottom up with a split in the ribbing. The back piece rib is a bit longer than the front piece rib. If you like you may knit it without this split, it is written how to do that in the pattern. The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches from the armhole and you knit the sleeve top down. No sewing. This is a downloadable product (PDF) – after the payment is done you will receive an email with a link to the pattern. You can also download the pattern in “your account” .
