Description Details Shipping info

The Varpu sweater knitting pattern is worked top-down, mainly as one piece. It is a swift and effortless knit, perfect for beginners and also an enjoyable project for more experienced knitters.

Varpu is knitted in Børstet Alpakka by Sandnes Garn, a soft brushed alpaca yarn that feels light and airy despite being classified as bulky weight yarn. Please note that a regular thick bulky yarn would not provide the same texture or drape; choose a similar alternative if Børstet Alpakka is unavailable.

This handmade sweater pattern creates a comfortable, wearable knit that’s perfect for layering or casual everyday wear.

This pattern is available in English only.

This pattern is a digital PDF download. After purchase, you will be given a unique link to download the pattern to your computer, phone or tablet. Please note that, due to the nature of digital knitting patterns, we do not offer refunds on digital purchases.
