Futura Sweater

Futura Sweater was designed for the yarn Alpaca Fino by Pascuali, Germany. Its minimalist design highlights the suppleness and softness of this yarn and it will accompany you in your daily life for a long time. The shoulder rib lines stretch and fit snugly the slope of your shoulders. Futura means future in Latin and is also the name of a famous font created by a German designer. The back is knit first with increases, then the front stitches are picked up separately along each shoulder, then joined after the neck slope shaping. The back and front are joined at the underarms to be knit in the round to the hem while the back stitches are decreased. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round first in the twisted rib pattern of the shoulders, then in stockinette stitch the cuffs. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7) **Finished Measurements** 102 (109, 118, 127, 140) (147, 156.5) cm / 40 1⁄4 (43, 46 1⁄2, 50, 55) (57 3⁄4, 61 1⁄2)” bust circumference 57.5 (60.5, 62.5, 64.5, 66) (68, 70.5) cm / 22 1⁄2 (23 3⁄4, 24 1⁄2, 25 1⁄2, 26) (26 3⁄4, 27 3⁄4)” total length (excl. collar) **Needles** 4 mm (US 6), 3.5 mm (US 4) 60 cm (24”) or 80 cm (32”) circular and 3.25 mm (US 3) 40 cm (16”) circular needles **Gauge** 22 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4” x 4”) in stockinette stitch with 4 mm [US 6] needle (after wet blocking) **Yarn** Alpaca Fino by Pascuali (100 m - 109 yard / 50g) 1100 (1200, 1300, 1400, 1600) (1600, 1700) m 1199 (1308, 1417, 1526, 1744) (1744, 1853) yards 550 (600, 650, 700, 800) (800, 850) g / 11 (12, 13, 14, 16) (16, 17) skeins **Notions** stitch markers, stitch holders or waste yarn and tapestry needle **Size Guide** This sweater is designed to be worn with 20 - 30 cm (8 - 11 3⁄4”) positive ease.
