Sweatshirt Sweater
Since this pandemic began and we have been staying at home, my daily outfits have been mainly sweatshirts with leggings. So when I saw the Sweatshirt Sweater by Purl Soho, I knew that I had to knit my own sweatshirt too. I envisioned it to be very soft and light and thus chose to make it with DROPS Air, a yarn made of baby alpaca and merino wool air blown into a polyamide tubing. The color is Ruby Red. Instead of following the pattern as it was written, I took the main design elements from it and created my own. I like the body of my sweatshirts oversized with well-fitting sleeves and high neck to keep me warm.
It is a very comfortable sweater with the warmth of the alpaca yarn. I see myself wearing it a lot this winter.
My pattern can be viewed here.

I will write the adapted pattern from my notes and post it here by Monday.
Thank you!
