Acha is happy and cropped, striped (or not).
Knit the same pattern in different yarn bases and weights.
That is, you can make quite different garments from one pattern that works really well in different yarns.
WANT to try out a smaller version first? Knit AchaKiddo.
For my own sweaters I have played around with sizes and yarns and also with the neckline:
- the brown/grey sweater is knitted in size 5 with Léttlopi, an aran weight yarn knitted at a gauge of 19 sts
- the red/natural sweater (also size 5) is knitted with Hillesvåg Sol, a yarn that knits up to DK weight despite running to 290 m (317 yds) per 100 g – knitted at a gauge of 20 sts
- the pink sweater is knitted with Léttlopi on larger needles at a gauge of 17 sts, I knitted a size 3 to get a size 5 or 6 – this sweater is longer and har a taller collar (the collar is not written into the pattern but is inspired by the AchaKiddo collar and can be found along with 7 other collars in the Collar Cache pdf).
To make your knitting joyful and the instructions easy to navigate, you’ll find photo tutorials and helpful hand drawings in the pattern.
