Aurora Turtleneck Sweater

"The Aurora sweater knitting pattern is the ultimate cozy everyday sweater. A wide soft cowl turtleneck to keep you warm without being oppressive, a high split hem with rounded bottom panels for a modern twist and a comfy flattering fit are just a few of the features of this women sweater knitting pattern. Worked in chunky yarn in the round, you’ll have your new favorite sweater ready in no time. No need for short rows or any advanced technique either for the rounded bottom shaping thanks to a little sewing trick. /PATTERN DETAILS • XS to 5XL (details below) • Easy level • Wide turtleneck • High split hem with rounded sweater bottom • Worked top down in the round (seamless) • Techniques used / Special stitches: Full explanations are given in the pattern. • Illustrated step-by-step photos /MATERIALS • 8 mm / US 11 circular knitting needles • Katia Yarns Soffiato (Super bulky weight 6, 70% superfine alpaca, 30% polyamide, 80m/87yd, 100g/3.5oz) in color Blue green 110: 6 (7, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) skeins • 2 stitch holders: you can use an interchangeable circular needle cable with end caps or a piece of yarn (make sure you close it to secure the stitches) • 10 stitch markers • Tapestry needle to weave in the ends /SIZES Final garment measurements are: • XS: 70 cm / 27.5” bust, 34 cm / 13.25” upper arm, 58 cm / 22.75” length. • S: 80 cm / 31.5” bust, 34 cm / 13.25” upper arm, 59 cm / 23.25” length. • M: 90 cm / 35.5” bust, 36 cm / 14” upper arm, 60 cm / 23.5” length. • L: 100 cm / 39.25” bust, 38 cm / 15” upper arm, 61 cm / 24” length. • XL: 110 cm / 43.25” bust, 42 cm / 16.5” upper arm, 62 cm / 24.5” length. • 2XL: 120 cm / 47.25” bust, 46 cm / 18” upper arm, 64 cm / 25” length. • 3XL: 130 cm / 51” bust, 52 cm / 20.5” upper arm, 65 cm / 25.5” length. • 4XL: 140 cm / 55” bust, 54 cm / 21.25” upper arm, 65 cm / 25.5” length. • 5XL: 150 cm / 59” bust, 56 cm / 22” upper arm, 66 cm / 29” length.
