Designed by Alicia Plummer, the Decades Sweater is inspired by the colors, moods, and memories that define the decades we love most. Knit in our beloved Oh Dang!, a luxurious lace weight blend of 74% Baby Suri Alpaca and 26% Silk, 328 yards / 50g. The Decades Sweater knits up full of airy halo and is feather light. The body and sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round, with the neckline picked up and finished afterward for a clean and polished look. Contrast stripes at the neckline, cuffs, and hem add a timeless touch, while every color combination creates a story all its own.
Are you drawn to earthy 70s golds and browns? Soft 80s pastels? Moody 90s grunge neutrals? Maybe you're dreaming of sleek Y2K minimalism. The Decades Sweater invites you knit your own version of nostalgia. And if you need some inspiration we've put together a few kit combo's for you below. This knit is the perfect blend of classic, cozy and a wonderful heirloom piece to add to your handmade wardrobe. The hardest part may be choosing just one.
Please note: The pattern is not included with this kit and can be purchased separately from the designer here. The Decades Sweater pattern is also 35% off with the code “Mydecade” through 7/9!
