PETRALIA

PETRALIA - a quite thick jumper in aran-weight cotton in a handsome rustic pattern which is enjoyable to work. The pattern is inspired from the British fisherman's jerseys. The sleeves are nicely fitted set-in sleeves. Well explained written pattern with charts. Worked flat.
Alternately I can recommend to work in a silk/cotton blend or one strand cotton together with one strand silk which will come out in a lighter weight knitting.
The pattern includes a version in a DK-weight cotton.
Required skill level from 1 (basic) to 5 (advanged): 3.
