Product Details
Lanatus is a lightweight, drapey, cool and easy-to-wear sweater featuring a stunning Fair Isle yoke, in a monchrome colour palette.
This sweater is knitted from the top down with short rows worked at the back neck before sections of colour work motifs are worked around the yoke.
Once the yoke has been worked options are available to knit a plain stocking stitch lower body or work the entire garment in stranded colour work motifs.
To create the soft airy fabric I have used increasing needle sizes as Lanatus is worked; with the final lower body section worked on 2 needle sizes larger than the yoke. This creates a beautifully draping fabric and a soft hemline.
The sample was knitted Susan Crawford Fenella, 100% British wool, a yarn which thickness-wise sits between 2 ply laceweight and fingering weight yarns.
Lanatus includes instructions for ten sizes between 28 inch (70cm) and 66 inch (167cm) chest.
