The pattern and yarn to make this 'Wow factor' top is sent to you with gift bag, care instructions and alpaca story.
For yourself or as a gift, the Lorelle Jumper Knitting Kit is packaged with yarn, pattern and put in a gift bag together with Care Instructions; a biography card of Lorelle the alpaca and it's packaged together in a clear resealable bag for garment storage.
At Purl Alpaca Designs our products are sustainable, ethical and organic. Our yarn is made from the best quality fibre, hand prepared and spun in the UK. No dye is used and environmentally aware, our packaging is made from recycled materials.
Ophelia is extremely versatile to wear - with sleeves, as a tunic, as a wrap, cloak, scarf or belted dress, and she weighs only 300g - 400g.
Using our comprehensive instructions and fabulous 100% pure, home grown alpaca yarn, Ophelia will be a joy to make. Knitted in one piece, from the bottom up, the neck stitches are held on a holder and finished after the main body has been made. This means there are no seams, but the addition of 6 buttons creates the different looks.
Stitch patterns: knit, purl, yarn over, k2tog, Skpo (slip 1, k1, pass the slipped st over) and cabling.
Two sizes available from X-Small to XX-Large
Knitted on 5mm circular needles, 80cm cable
