Light Matter Sweater
Light Matter is an oversized seamless top-down sweater with V-neck and saddle shoulders made in the very light and cosy Peru Tweed yarn by Lana Grossa. Of course, you can use your preferred similarly fluffy yarn. If you want to make your sweater reversible, just use a felted joint when adding a new ball of yarn.
The sweater is very simple, mostly consisting of stockinette stitch with only one cable along each sleeve, thus revealing the whole beauty of the textured yarn. This also makes the sweater an easy project for beginners and at the same time entertaining enough for experienced knitters.
The pattern is written for only three sizes, but due to its generous ease, the sweater will fit a wide range of sizes from XS to XXL.
The picture shows size M/L with extra-long sleeves. If you like very long sleeves, just add one more repeat of the cable chart.
