Tweed V-Neck Sweater

Knitting Pattern – Alpaca Yarns AP1223

This relaxed V-neck sweater is a wardrobe staple, featuring a clean stocking stitch body enhanced by the subtle texture of tweed yarn. The simple design allows the yarn to shine, while the ribbed trims and classic V-neck shaping create a timeless silhouette.

The sweater is worked flat in separate pieces from the bottom up, with drop shoulders for a relaxed fit. The neckline is finished with a neatly shaped ribbed band worked in the round.

Photographed in Inca Spun Tweed or Worsted 10 ply, a soft and durable yarn with a lightly flecked texture.
