Alnwick

A THICK, soft yarn is used to create this super-cosy winter sweater. British BareFaced Chunky is a blend of Bluefaced Leicester wool and baby alpaca, and it comes in three undyed shades - cream, silver and charcoal. Jo Storie’s design has a boxy shape and wide, cropped sleeves. It is decorated with a lace pattern of large leaves and stems. The roll collar in our photographs is worked in brioche stitch; instructions are also given for a fisherman’s rib alternative.
