Llume

£7.50
£7.50

Llume is a very light and airy V-neck sweater. It is worked holding two strands together, with the colours changing gradually to create a soft, blurred stripe effect. The sweater is worked from the top down, beginning with the fronts and back worked flat. Once the required armhole depth has been reached, the pieces are joined and the body is worked in the round. The fabric is reverse stockinette stitch but the body and sleeves are worked on the inside of the garment to avoid purling.

MATERIALS

  • 5 mm (US 8) circular needles for the body and sleeves. Adjust needle size if necessary to achieve the same gauge as the pattern – see below.
  • 4.5 mm (US 7) (or a size smaller than the main needles) for the ribbing.
  • Markers, tapestry needle and scrap yarn, stitch holders or extra cables to put stitches on hold.

    YARN

    In the original I used 1 strand of fingering with 1 strand of mohair. With the gauge given for this pattern it’s possible to replace this yarn with any other weight from lace (or another mohair thread) to worsted. The only difference will be how dense or sheer the final fabric will be.

    5 colours of fingering or light fingering weight yarn (C1 to C5). I used Isager Tvinni (100% wool, 255 m in 50 g).

    • C1: I used colour 33S (maroon).
