The Purls of Wisdom Sweater is a round yoke seamless pullover knit from the top-down. With just a bit of purl-stitch texture in the yoke, this sweater is ideal for a first sweater knitting project. The Fibre Co. Team designed the Purls of Wisdom Sweater to be extremely wearable with a beautifully minimalist aesthetic and well-considered details. A sweater this versatile has an infinite number of styling options: dress it up or dress it down, layer it up for a day out or wear it with your favourite pj bottoms…the choice is yours!

Design Inspiration: Purls of Wisdom Sweater – Wear it Well
Collection: &Make AW22/23

This pattern is available in two kits, Purls of Wisdom Sweater (solid) or Purls of Wisdom Sweater (Colourblock). Both kits include &Make Aran yarn, PDF pattern and &Make Project Bag from The Fibre Co.

YARN:
&Make Aran (50% Highland wool, 50% alpaca, 150 m (164 yd) per 100 g ball).

CONSTRUCTION NOTES:
The Purls of Wisdom Sweater is worked in the round from the top down. You will begin by casting on the Yoke at the neck which starts with knit 2, purl 2 ribbing, and then work purled increase rounds between knit rounds. When the Yoke is finished, you will put the sleeve stitches on waste yarn or stitch holders, and then knit the body until the hem, which is worked with K2, P2 rib. When the body is finished, you will pick up the sleeve stitches and work them in the round to the cuff, finishing with more K2, P2 rib. Weave in the ends, and block your sweater, and voila! Your first sweater is ready to wear!
