You can now purchase the Austrina pattern as part of a kit in our online store. Purchase here.

Austrina is a lace yoke sweater with a relaxed funnel neck. Knitted seamlessly from the top down, the neck and yoke are cleverly shaped using needle size changes, wrapped stitches, hidden pattern increases and circular yoke shaping. Designed by Allison Jane for our brushed yarn Cirro, this romantic pullover is soft as a cloud.

Note on errata: The original pattern was missing a set of brackets in the instructions, which made the yoke pattern harder to read. The issue was corrected in January 2021. Please make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the pattern.
