Stitchcraft Freebie: The Angora Sweater

I think it almost goes without saying I love the angora sweater.  With combining two of my favorite things: Vintage knits and bunnies, how can you go wrong?!

For today’s Free Stitchcraft Pattern I bring you the Angora Sweater:

This sweater is made with angora yarn in fingering weight, with a tension of 7.5 sts per inch.  There are two sizes included in this pattern one for a 32-34″ bust and a second for a 34-36″ bust measurement.

I tried to do some searching online to try and determine the exact fiber content in this sweater, whether it is an angora mix or if it’s 100% angora.  I’ve had quite a hard time trying to find a fingering weight angora blend let alone a 100% pure one.  After a year of searching, I finally found some at Stitches Midwest this past summer in a black and in a strange green color.  But if any of you know where I can get my hands on more, I’m all ears!

The only thing I would change about this little sweater is the length of the armscye; it seems a bit too long for my tastes.  Otherwise I think this is a perfect, classic angora sweater, don’t you?!

To share more angora-love, I’ve pooled together a few images, just for fun.  Links are just below the images if you want to click through.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend dreaming of angora now.  :)
