Hello, precious soul! This week, I have a beautiful, knitted V-neck sweater pattern that I think you’ll adore! Keep reading to learn more about it!
Earrach was designed by Debi Maige. When asked about this pattern, Debi said, “Earrach, or spring, is one of my favorite times of the year. I love watching everything come back to life, green up, bloom, and begin another year of growth. I also love how spring brings home the knowledge that there is life after winter, no matter how harsh it might have been. This reminds me that this is also very true in life. No matter the trouble you might be going through, there is always a spring to follow your winter.”
“This fun top is the perfect spring or autumn pullover. Just the right weight for those days that are a bit cool and so easy to wear. This top starts with a 2 x 2 broken rib and then goes into a colorwork band that’s followed by lots of easy, peasy stripes. The sweater is separated for the front and back and then joined again with a three-needle bind off. The sleeves are picked up and worked down in the round, and then the neck band is picked up for that final touch.”
This Intermediate level pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include chart reading, colorwork, short rows, decreasing, and garment sizing.
Earrach is knitted with our soft and silky Moongleam Fingering yarn, which is an incredibly soft, 2-ply yarn that has a delightful shimmer and drape. It is breathable and light and amazing for warmer climates. Moongleam Fingering is a blend of 50% Cotton and 50% Mulberry Silk with 437 yds/400 m per 3.5 oz/100 g skein.
The pattern is offered in sizes XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL, 3XL) (4XL, 5XL), which correspond to finished bust measurements of 32 (36.25, 40.25, 44.5) (48, 54.5, 58) (62.25, 65.75)”/ 81.5 (92, 101.5, 113) (122, 138.5, 147.5) (158, 167) cm.
The sample shown here was knitted with colors: MC: Clary Sage, CC1: Musing, CC2: Lichen, and CC3: Lens Flare and is shown in a size Small modeled on a 34″ (86 cm) bust with 2.25″ (5.5 cm) of positive ease.
You’ll need two to five skeins of Moongleam Fingering for the main color, depending on your selected size, and one skein EACH of CC1, CC2, and CC3 for all sizes.
