We now offer handy kits of this pattern. All kits include enough yarn to make this incredible sweater, a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy knitting! We do not stock the pattern ourselves, but you can buy it from Aleks on her Ravelry page, here.
We are utterly delighted to be able to offer you kits for Aleks’ gorgeous Lilleke Light Sweater, and give you a sneaky preview of our new Appledore Aran in the process!
Not only is it an absolute stunner of a pattern, Aleks uses a wonderful combo of our yarns that we have fallen in love with. This yoke sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, with a beautiful and striking Roosimine design, inspired by Aleks’ Estonian heritage.
Aleks uses our Harvest Hues 4ply as the main colour of the sweater, with two different shades of our Appledore Aran as the contrast. We think this combination plays wonderfully together.
Our Appledore Aran is not available to purchase on it’s own just yet, but we are offering it as a unique one off as part of the Lilleke Sweater kits. Hurrah! Appledore Aran will be available on our website in the Autumn.
