Alsea

A little bit of swing, a little bit of lace, and a whole lot of charm! The lace pattern of this design grows with every repeat before rippling into the lower body; it reminds me of waves that gather momentum and then fade as they move toward the shore. I love the tailored fit in the neck and shoulders, with the comfortable, relaxed ease at the bust and lower body. It’s a flattering, easy style that feels perfect for a sunny day. **Skill Level:** Intermediate **Sizes:** S (M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5/6X) **Yarn** * Sport | Schoppel ALB Lino | 85% virgin wool, 15% linen | 437 yards (400 meters) in 100 grams * OR - Hanf Natur by Zitron | 75% Wool, 25% Hemp | 437 yards (400 meters) in 100 grams * Yardage: 1029 (1111, 1199, 1295, 1399, 1511, 1632, 1763) yards / 941 (1016, 1096, 1184, 1279, 1381, 1492, 1612) meters * Pictured: Schoppel ALB Lino in Classic Blue **Needles** * US 3 (3.25 mm)* 16-40 in (40-100 cm) circular needles – body * US 3 (3.25 mm) 16 in (40 cm) circular needles – neckline * US 3 (3.25 mm) 12 in (30 cm) circular needles or DPNs – sleeves and sleeve cuffs **Gauge** * 24 sts and 34 rows/rounds = in 4 in/10 cm in lace pattern, blocked. * Note: Adjust your needle size, if necessary, to obtain correct gauge. **Notions** * Darning needle * Stitch markers * Blocking pins, blocking mat **Finished Measurements (blocked)** * **Bust Circumference:** 35 (39.75, 46.75, 51.25, 58.25, 63, 70, 77) in/87.5 (99.25, 116.75, 128.25, 145.75, 157.5, 175, 192.5) cm.
