ASTRID Top-down Sweater Pattern Kit in MALOU LIGHT by LANGYARNS
The ASTRID sweater is a knitted garment worked top down in MALOU LIGHT by LANGYARNS, a worsted/aran weight yarn composed of 72% Alpaca (Baby Alpaca), 16% Nylon, and 12% Wool. The distinctive net construction creates a feather-light fabric with gentle warmth and softness, combining luxurious fibres with everyday practicality.
The design is worked from the neckline down with classic raglan shaping. Ribbed edges frame the garment neatly, while smooth stocking stitch is used throughout the body and sleeves, allowing the airy structure of the yarn to shine.
