A wonderful little sweater to knit and keep warm is the Lento by Jonna Helin. It is easy to make and knit on a size 10 needle! So it knits up quickly!
Though Lento is knit on a size 10 needle, our sample is made from holding two lightweight yarns held together, resulting in a medium-weight sweater. Though we love a thick yarn, it is really nice to knit yarn that is lightweight and also, it is nice to have a sweater that isn't really heavy. Especially during these transitional times as we go from one season to the next.
We knit our sample using La Bien Aimeé Merino Bouclé and Verb's Flock -- a match made in heaven! The bouclé adds a fun, loopy texture while the Flock is lofty and buoyant.
Lento is a simple and timeless sweater. It is knitted from the top down in the round with raglan increases. The yoke is shaped with short rows. After the yoke is completed, the work is divided into the body and sleeves, which are then knitted separately in the round.
