Austrina

Austrina is a lace yoke sweater with a relaxed funnel neck. Knitted seamlessly from the top down, the neck and yoke are cleverly shaped using needle size changes, wrapped stitches, hidden pattern increases and circular yoke shaping. Designed by Allison Jane for our brushed yarn Cirro, this romantic pullover is soft as a cloud.

NOTE ON ERRATA: The original pattern was missing a set of brackets in the instructions, which made the yoke pattern harder to read. The issue was corrected in January 2021. Please make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the pattern.

For any questions or comments about the pattern, please contact us on patternsupport@thefibreco.com
