The Autumn-Break Sweater is designed for the unique qualities of alpaca yarn. It incorporates a simple cut and refined detailing, allowing the drape and texture of the yarn to feature centre stage.  
 
The pattern is worked in reverse stockinette stitch with faux seams created down the middle of the front, back and sleeves, using simple slip-stitch. It is perfect for everyday wear, and for those seeking a refined, understated or pared-down look.
  
The sweater is worked from the bottom up and seamed at the shoulders. Stitches are picked up to form the band of the neck. The sleeves are worked top-down by picking up stitches and using short rows to provide shaping at the shoulders.  
The hem has side-splits and is lower at the back. A slip stitch ribbing is used for the bands.  The wide 'squared' neckline also provides understated details. 
 
The sweater is named after a family holiday in autumn, where among the topics of conversation was the sweater’s design.
