Autumn Alpine by Caitlin Hunter

Autumn Alpine by Caitlin Hunter is a midweight sweater knit from the top down featuring an interesting ribbing detail at the neckline, hem and sleeve cuffs and a Scandinavian-inspired floral colorwork yoke. Short rows are worked at the back neck for an improved fit. Optional short rows are also worked at the back hem to lower the back of the sweater a bit. Instructions are given for lengthening the body and sleeves as desired.

Please note: This sweater is designed with a Sport weight yarn while our kits feature a fingering weight yarn. Our Sunday Morning 4 Ply works beautifully at the 24-stitch gauge called for in this pattern (see our version of the Blueberry Vodka Lemonade) but be aware that the finished sweater will be a little lighter than the original pictured here.

I knitting the black and natural sample shown with the 'Crossword' and 'Offline' kit and used one of our mini-skeins in 'Sleeping Beauty' to add a little pop of colour through the yoke. It only required about 3g of the mini for this so a 20g skein will be more than enough for all sizes if used in the same way. 😊

Folded collar mods (black & natural version): Cast on the number of stitches indicated for your size, work 2x2 rib for just under 4" (about 9 cm) and then simply fold the collar inwards and loosely whip-stitch the cast-on edge to the base of the ribbing, being careful to keep the ribs aligned. I waited until after completing the short rows and a little of the yoke before stitching the collar edge down.
