Alessia Set in Adriafil Point – Knitting Pattern Summary

The Alessia Set is a downloadable, free knitting pattern by Adriafil that produces a coordinated two-piece set consisting of a coat and a jumper or sweater, worked in a striking two-tone colourway using Adriafil Point yarn. The pattern is suitable for knitters who are comfortable with shaping techniques including armhole decreases, neckline bind-offs, and sleeve increases, making it an intermediate-level project with a polished, structured finish.

About the Adriafil Point Yarn

The entire set is worked using Adriafil Point, an aran weight yarn, held tripled throughout to create a dense, warm, and substantial fabric. The colour combination specified in the pattern is:

• Cream no. 50 – the dominant colour, used as two strands of the triple-held yarn
• Green no. 53 – the accent colour, used as one strand of the triple-held yarn

Holding the yarn tripled (two ends of cream and one end of green simultaneously) creates a naturally heathered, blended tone across the fabric, giving the finished garment a rich, textured appearance without the need for complex colourwork. The total yarn requirement for the coat is approximately 500 g in cream no. 50 and 250 g in green no. 53.

Tools and Notions Required

To complete the Alessia Set, the following tools and notions are needed:

• Knitting needles size 10 – used throughout for the main fabric pieces
• Crochet hook size 8 – used for finishing details and edgings
• Tapestry needle with a rounded tip – for seaming and weaving in ends
• 4 froggings complete with ring and 2 froggings without ring – decorative closures that give the coat its distinctive, elegant fastening

The Coat – Construction and Techniques

The coat is the centrepiece of the Alessia Set and is constructed in separate pieces that are later seamed together. The main pieces include the back, right front, left front, and sleeves.

Stitch Pattern

The coat body is worked in a fancy rib stitch, which gives the fabric elasticity and a decorative, textured surface. Rib stitches alternate knit and purl columns in various configurations; a fancy rib typically introduces a more ornamental variation on the classic rib, adding visual interest while retaining the characteristic vertical lines and slight stretch of traditional ribbing.

Body Shaping

• Side and armhole shaping on the back and fronts are worked in the same manner, ensuring symmetry across the garment.
• Armhole shaping begins with decreases of 1 stitch every 2 rows, repeated 3 times at each side.
• After 6 cm from the beginning of the armholes, the remaining stitches are bound off to complete the armhole edge.

Neckline Shaping – Right Front

• When the work measures 65.5 cm from the beginning, neckline shaping begins on the right side of the work.
• Stitches are bound off as follows: 5 stitches once, then 1 stitch 4 times, each decrease worked every 2 rows.
• After 7.5 cm from the beginning of the neckline shaping, the remaining stitches are bound off to form the shoulder.

Left Front

The left front is worked as a mirror image of the right front, with all shaping reversed to match symmetrically.

Sleeves

• Sleeves are cast on with 21 stitches using
