Alpaca Collar Sweater Knitting Pattern A relaxed, contemporary sweater featuring a generous ribbed collar and deep contrast ribbing for a stylish, casual look. The oversized silhouette and drop-shoulder shaping make this an effortlessly wearable garment, while the contrasting trims add definition and visual interest. The sweater is worked flat in separate back, front and sleeve pieces before being seamed together. The body is knitted in smooth stocking stitch using Cloud yarn, while the ribbed hem, cuffs, plackets and oversized collar are worked in Inca Spun Tweed for added structure and contrast. A split front neck and folded collar complete the modern design.
