PATTERN | FEATHERTRACE SWEATER

The FEATHERTRACE SWEATER is worked from the top down with contrasting-colored ribbed cuffs and hems. The Main Color is made up of one strand each of our fine alpaca yarn, Balayage, and our soft mohair Manada, both in light tones. The subtly striped yoke pattern is created with slipped stitches, working a single strand of Manada with larger needles. Between the pattern stripes of the yoke, you work gradual increases. Patterned borders above the waistband and cuffs provide additional colorful accents by combining the Main Color with a darker, contrasting shade of Manada.

The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows:
( XS; S; M ) ( L; XL; XXL ) ( 3XL; 4XL; 5XL ) = ( 30; 32.2; 35.4 ) ( 38.6; 42.1; 46.1 ) ( 50; 54; 58 )“ (= ( 76; 82; 90 ) ( 98; 107; 117 ) ( 127; 137; 147 ) cm) bust circumference (measured on the body).

The sweater has a loose fit.

Example: If your bust measurement is 32“ (82 cm), make the sweater in Size S, and it will have a comfortable, loose fit with 5.5“ (14 cm) of positive ease at the bust.
