The Confluence Sweater is a top-down sweater with a folded collar, balloon sleeves, and a circular yoke. The sweater body and sleeves are knit holding 2 yarns together to create a marled fabric. The collar, cuffs, and hem are worked with just one yarn.

“Named for my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Confluence sweater is a mixed base and marled top-down sweater. Featuring a folded collar, balloon sleeves, and a circular yoke, this sweater is perfect for first time sweater knitters, as well as advanced knitters looking for a relaxing knit. The sweater body and sleeves are knit holding a fingering-weight and fluffy lace-weight yarn held together to create a beautiful marled fabric. The collar, cuffs, and hem are worked holding the yarns independently. The 3 stripes on the sleeve cuff represent the confluence of rivers at Pittsburgh’s point. This is where the Allegheny and Monogahela Rivers merge to create the Ohio River. Simple and elegant, this design is the perfect vehicle to show off and highlight these special yarns!” - Caitlyn

To knit our version, we used La Bien Aimée Helix as the main color, along with our brand new yarn Wild Bloom in the exhilarating colorway Lady Extravaganza. The result is a cozy and colorful sweater with a unique, marbled fabric created by the two very different yarns.

We used the following yarns to knit this sample:
La Bien Aimée Helix, 75% Falkland Merino / 25% Gotland wool, 710 yards / 100g in Smoke
AVFKW Wild Bloom, 41% Baby Alpaca / 35% Silk / 13% Merino / 10% Yak, 437 yds / 50g, Lady Extravaganza

Finished Chest Circumference: 32 (36, 40, 44, 48) (52, 56, 60, 64)” / 81.5 (91.5, 101.5, 112, 122) (132, 142, 152.5, 162.5) cm.

Recommended ease: 0–4” / 0–10 cm of positive ease. If you are between sizes it is recommended to size down. Kristine (pictured) is wearing 2" of positive ease.

Yarn Requirements:

Sizes 32-36" - 2 skeins Helix (1420y) / 3 skeins Wild Bloom (1311y)
Size 40" - 3 skeins Helix (2130y) / 3 skeins Wild Bloom (1311y)
