Miala
MIALA is an easy-to-knit version of the classic Icelandic-style sweater, but instead of using two colours for stranded knitting, Miala uses slipped stitches, increases and decreases to make a pretty colourwork yoke. Worked in a thick aran yarn, this sweater knits up quickly and is a classic shape; perfect for cosy autumnal walks, or curling up in front of the fire.
Chest circumference: 83 (91.5, 103, 111.5, 123)(131.5, 143, 151.5, 163) cm/ 32.75 (36, 40.5, 44, 48.5)(51.75, 56.25, 59.75, 64.25) inches
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down, so is easily made longer or shorter.
YARN
I used Rowan Felted Tweed Aran (50% wool, 25% alpaca, 25% viscose; 87m per 50g ball) in colourway Seasalter 778 (blue); 6 (7, 8, 8, 9) (10, 10, 11, 12) balls, and in colourway Clay 777 (grey) 1 (1, 1, 1, 1) (1, 1, 2, 2) balls.
Or you can substitute an aran weight yarn:
main colour approximately
290 (320, 360, 390, 430)(460, 500, 530, 570) grams 505 (555, 625, 680, 750)(800, 870, 920, 990) metres 550 (605, 685, 745, 820)(875, 950, 1005, 1085) yards
and contrast colour approximately
30 (30, 35, 40, 45)(45, 50, 55, 55) grams 50 (50, 60, 70, 80)(80, 85, 95, 95) metres 55 (55, 65, 75, 85)(85, 95, 105, 105) yards
