Linnea Signe is a hip-hitting pullover with close-fitting sleeves and bodice, and a small rib detail around the edges. This design uses two completely different yarns combined to make a soft luxurious material. An irregularly spun fingering weight alpaca yarn and a DK merino and cotton blend create a sweater that be worn over any shirt, blouse, or tank. It will quickly become your go-to sweater when the weather cools down and you want something soft and warm.

The pattern includes instructions for knitting the sweater flat or in the round, the choice is yours.
