The Love Note Sweater by Alexa Ludeman and Emily Wessel is a light, airy sweater featuring a delicate lace yoke and a relaxed, flattering fit. Knit seamlessly from the top down, it's a beautiful project that creates an effortlessly elegant garment. We’ve put together kits using both Knitting For Olive Cotton Merino and No Waste Wool paired with Soft Silk Mohair. Together, these yarns create a fabric that feels soft and airy while still providing warmth—ideal for staying cozy as the days grow cooler.
Each kit contains 4 skeins each of Cotton Merino or No Waste Wool and Soft Silk Mohair, which is enough yardage to knit a regular length sweater from XS to XXL. There is also enough yardage to make adjustments to sleeve length or adding further length to the body. Yarns are in stock and ready to ship. As always, we are more than happy to add extra yarn if you wish to knit a larger size, just message us and we can arrange this for you. Pattern is not included, you can purchase it separately from Ravelry.
Why We Love the Love Note Sweater
• It's one of those designs that feels both delicate and incredibly wearable. The soft lace pattern across the yoke adds texture and interest, while the rest of the sweater flows into simple stockinette that's calm and satisfying to knit.
• The fabric itself feels wonderfully light thanks to the combination of yarns, creating a sweater that's cosy without feeling heavy. It's the kind of piece that works beautifully layered over dresses, worn with jeans, or thrown on during cooler evenings.
•It's also a project many knitters return to again and again — once you've knit one, it's hard not to cast on another.
Skill Level
Advanced Beginner to Intermediate
The sweater is knit top-down in the round, beginning with the lace yoke before separating for the body and sleeves. The lace pattern is simple to memorise and becomes rhythmic after a few repeats, making it a very enjoyable knit.
