IDA Top-down Sweater Pattern Kit in CARPE DIEM by LANGYARNS
The IDA sweater is a knitted garment worked in Carpe Diem by LANGYARNS. This worsted/aran weight yarn is composed of 70% new wool (Merino extrafine, mulesing free) and 30% alpaca, creating a fabric that is soft, voluminous, and comfortably warm.
The design is a classic top-down raglan sweater, allowing the garment to be shaped seamlessly from the neckline down. Clean stocking stitch forms the body and sleeves, with the raglan construction offering a balanced fit and a timeless, wardrobe-ready silhouette.
