Both the Alana Sweater and Alana Stole are now available! The Alana Sweater combines a center front cable panel and complementary sleeve cables with top-down construction and simple stockinette for casual elegance. Written in 7 sizes with waist and hip shaping for a flattering fit. Cables are charted and written.
Named Alana from the Celtic word meaning harmony or stone because the cables evoke both ancient stone carvings and the blending of individual parts into harmony. This sweater was originally published in Knit Now magazine. The rights have released back to me so I’m now free to republish it! I’ve reworked and updated the pattern and formatting! Sample Size S worked in West Yorkshire Spinners, The Croft Shetland Tweed Aran in the color Clousta and used just under 500 g or 910 yards.
The Alana Stole combines the same center cable panel with complementary smaller cables and a moss-stitch edging in a modern wrap with the feel of a vintage stole. Simple stockinette between the cables helps to keep the Alana Stole a quick knit with cables to spice up the rows.
Perfect to layer as the temperatures turn cooler and the seasons change. Cables are charted and written. Sample worked in Cascade 220 color 9600 Antiqued Heather and used about 450 g or 990 yards.
The Alana Sweater and Alana Stole are available at Ravelry now and will be available through other venues later this year!
