This season is all about fuzzy textures and Penny Hill’s gorgeous design is knitted in a soft, alpaca-blend yarn that has a brushed finish. The gentle halo of the yarn works well with the bold colour pattern, making this a true stand-out garment for your autumn/winter wardrobe. This pattern uses the stranded colourwork method - see our Knitwise panel for tips on this technique. No chart is needed as it’s a relatively short pattern repeat. Three-quarter length sleeves and a wide ribbed waistband make for a flattering and feminine fit - so what are you waiting for? Cast on this stylish sweater this weekend!
