MODE at Rowan Prairie Alpaca Cotton DK 8 Ply Double-Strand V-Neck Sweater Knitting Pattern – MIP75
Knit a relaxed wardrobe staple with the Prairie sweater knitting pattern from MODE at Rowan. Designed by Quail Studio, Prairie features a boxy silhouette, flattering V neckline, dropped shoulders and deep ribbed detailing.
The body is worked in classic stocking stitch, while the sleeves and lower hem feature generous ribbing that adds texture and structure to this otherwise simple, wearable design.
Prairie is knitted using two strands of MODE at Rowan Alpaca Cotton DK / 8 ply held together throughout. Combining two strands creates a fuller, approximately Aran-weight fabric while retaining the yarn’s lightweight feel, soft alpaca halo and breathable cotton structure.
