Intermediate
Intermediate knitting patterns are aimed at knitters who have a solid understanding of fundamental techniques and are ready for more challenging patterns. Knitters at this level are expected to be comfortable reading patterns, working with a variety of needle types, and executing more advanced techniques such as cables, lace work, detailed construction methods or intarsia. These patterns require reading complex charts or instructions, offering knitters the chance to refine their skills and explore creative, sophisticated designs.
Description
The Global Shift Sweater brings contemporary construction to timeless design, featuring offset globe cables from a vintage Swedish cable pattern running down the center back. Part of the Global Shift Collection, this sweater showcases the signature cable work that defines the series. This comfortable pullover is worked from the top down with picked-up sleeves, making it easy to try on and adjust as you knit. The remaining fabric showcases a subtly striped pattern with wide textured stockinette sections, creating stockinette-like drape with added textural detail, while the deeper V-neck and relaxed fit ensure effortless wearability.
Crafted in The Fibre Co.’s Herb & Hue, this plant-dyed extra-fine Merino delivers cloud-like softness against the skin while maintaining beautiful structure. The yarn’s exceptional stitch definition allows both the bold cable work and subtle textured stockinette to shine, creating a sweater that’s as beautiful to knit as it is to wear. With 10–20 cm of positive ease, this versatile piece layers beautifully over autumn basics. Create a sweater that celebrates both botanical craftsmanship and modern knitting techniques.
