The Aurora sweater knitting pattern is the ultimate cozy everyday sweater. A wide soft cowl turtleneck to keep you warm without being oppressive, a high split hem with rounded bottom panels for a modern twist and a comfy flattering fit are just a few of the features of this women sweater knitting pattern.
Worked in chunky yarn in the round, you’ll have your new favorite sweater ready in no time. No need for short rows or any advanced technique either for the rounded bottom shaping thanks to a little sewing trick.

Knitting with Chopsticks
Hi there,
I’m Hortense, a passionate knitter, crocheter and yarn addict. I created Knitting with Chopsticks (www.knittingwithchopsticks.com) to share my creations and help you make your own.
It’s thanks to blogs that I have learned most of what I know about knitting and crochet. My mom taught me the basics of knitting whe n I was a small girl, bored on the beach (yep, that’s possible when you are 10) and since then I haven’t stopped. Always looking to learn, do more, do better and share my love of yarn, I created Knitting with Chopsticks to make knitting and crochet as simple as it gets so YOU can create what YOU want the way YOU want it.
Engineer by trade, crafter by passion, you will usually find me playing with some yarn while watching the latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy (and probably eating some chocolate, I’m from Belgium, what can I say?).
