Skiddaw Pattern

Description

Designer Kari-Helene Rane created this beautiful boxy sweater, which features a striking cable design along the sleeves and neck that can be worn on the front or back. It is worked flat in one piece from cuff to cuff and seamed. Knit in Arranmore Light, the sweater is cozy and warm.

This pattern is also available as a kit, that includes the PDF pattern and 4–7 hanks of Arranmore Light.

Yarn:

The Fibre Co. Arranmore Light (80% Merino wool, 10% cashmere, 10% silk, 300 m (328 yd) per 100g hank) shown in Kinnego Bay & Shamrock – 4 [4: 4: 5: 5: 5: 6: 6: 7] hanks.

Construction notes:

This sweater is worked flat in one piece. The first sleeve is worked from cuff to shoulder, then stitches are cast on either side of the sleeve for the front and back, and the body is worked from hem to hem, working in two separate sections in the middle to create the neck opening. Finally, the front and back stitches are cast-off leaving the stitches for the second sleeve, which is worked from shoulder to cuff. After all knitting is complete, the sweater is joined at the side and the sleeve seams. Please note this sweater is reversible and was originally designed by Kari-Helene to have the cables along the back.
