Turtleneck sweater

What do a turtleneck sweater and a cappuccino have in common?
Looks good and is pretty hot.
We came across Gabi's article in the Facebook fairalpaka fan group. She drew attention to her hand-made alpaca sweater in the color cappuccino. One of the many advantages of a self-knitted garment is the possibility of making corrections afterwards. What happened? I'm sure you know how it is. You knit diligently, then you're finished, you enjoy the look, you wear your knitted item and then? You want a change. That's what happened with Gabi. She didn't like the collar from last year anymore. What can you do? Get to work full of enthusiasm on a free Sunday. Unravel the collar and knit a new one. The attractive turtleneck sweater is ready. It looks somehow different now, somehow new, somehow particularly beautiful.

What you need for the turtleneck sweater:
In addition to enthusiasm for wool and handicrafts, you also need tools and materials. Gabi used the Addi Click needle 5.5 - and the fairalpaka baby alpaca cappuccino wool. Her quote: "I love them. These sweaters are great and adapt to the temperature..." Gabi deliberately knits loosely and not skin-tight. This fact and the design of braids naturally also results in a corresponding amount of wool being used for this alpaca sweater. But hey, it's worth it. Everything has its place. Sometimes minimalism is the order of the day, sometimes it can be a bit more. Oh yes, she knitted freestyle. Of course, the approaches are very different. We know that. That's why this article is intended to be an inspiration for the freestylers among you. But also for those who prefer to knit according to instructions. Most of you will know Ravelry. There are great knitting instructions from talented men and women, mostly women, from all over the world. By the way, we also have a fairalpaka group there. So, take a look. Get inspired, get ideas and exchange ideas.
