Loropetalum Light

knitting
Written By Andrea Hungerford

A variation on the original Loropetalum Fringed Pullover pattern, this is a DK-weight version.

Pattern: Loropetalum Light

Yarn (held double throughout): Fru Valberg BFL/Gotland Fingering (75% Bluefaced Leicester / 25% Gotland) – 1 skein (350m) each in colors Blush, Heather, Oyster, Thyme, Hurrrican, Nightswatch

Needles: US 8s

Size: B (38”-44”)

I love this yarn - it is rustic and toothy, but softens nicely when wet-blocked. It takes color beautifully, with a grey-toned, heathered look. I chose exposed seams for the shoulders and the sides, and left the fringe a little crinkled (I like the effect :)
