This new sweater from Natasja Hornby, Asterie, is squishy texture and easy lace, and together they make for a beautiful lightweight sweater.

Thank you, Natasja for trusting me with Asterie

PATTERN
The pattern is easy to follow and will suit the beginner as well as the more experienced knitter. Seams along the lines of body and sleeves ensure that this knit is never boring.
Also, you can customize Asterie with bust-darts and body-shaping, to make it perfect for you.

I knit without bust-darts and shaping to get a boxy fit.

YARN
Yarn are two of my favorites held together to make this a light sweater with good drape and stitch definition.
And I am smitten with this dark green!

Mods:

• Shortened the sweater with approx. 4 cm.
• Knit the body with two balls of yarn, in different directions to avoid purling. In my dark yarn this looks jogless. My second Asterie will be in lighter yarn and I’ll go with Natasjas intended seam at the back.
• Knit sleeves flat — as usual. I don’t mind seaming and like the sturdy seam under sleeves.
