And now what I’ve really been waiting for, the perfect opportunity to show off my beautiful (smart, curious and hilarious) niece, Bobbie, in her favorite new sweater! -Joelle

MATERIALS

In addition to a Purl Soho Pullover pattern, you’ll need…

5 (6, 6, 7, 8) skeins of Purl Soho’s Alpaca Pure, 100% alpaca. (I used the color Ballet Pink.)
A US #7, 24-inch circular needle for body of sweater (or 20-inch for size 2)
A US #7, 16-inch circular needle for last two rounds of neck
A US #7 12-inch circular needle for sleeves (or US #7 double pointed needles for size 2)
A US #6, 16-inch circular needle for neck
Removable stitch markers (including one in a contrasting color)
Stitch holders or scrap yarn
GAUGE

4 1/4 stitches = 1 inch in stockinette stitch, using larger needle

This gauge is exactly the same as for the Worsted Twist version (although on a smaller size needle), which means the pattern is exactly the same too!
