The Blossom Sweater by Along avec Anna has a beautiful lace pattern on the front and back, and stockinette stitch on the sleeves.

The construction is bottom-up: you start by knitting the bottom of the body in the round, then the front and back are knitted back and forth one after the other. The shoulders are joined together and the stitches of the neckline are picked-up for a ribbed finish. The stitches of the sleeves are then picked-up to knit them from the armhole to the wrist.

Gauge: In needles 4.5 mm/US 7 (or another size depending on your gauge) :

• one repeat of 16 sts x 47 r = 9.5 cm x 18 cm in lace
• 18 sts x 26 r = 10 cm in stockinette stitch

4.5mm/US 7 for the body and sleeves

Yarn requirements.

We think our Yeavering Bell Aran would be a lovely yarn for this project.
Aran weight yarn : about 660 (790, 880, 990) 1080, 1160, 1260 meters

size 88.5cm – choose small – 4 skeins

sizes 98cm – choose medium – 5 skeins

sizes 107.5, 117cm – choose large – 6 skeins

sizes  126.5, 136cm – choose X large – 7 skeins

size choose 145.5 cm – XX large – 8 skeins

These are just approximations. Total yarn usage will depend on your personal gauge, and any modifications you may make.
