Description

Designed by Jennifer Owens, this enchanting top-down circular yoke sweater is a harmony of texture and sophistication. Featuring an undulating lace pattern on the yoke, punctuated by delicate lines of small circular cables, these two stitch patterns create an engaging and enjoyable knitting experience. The Lennon sweater is entirely seamless with a stockinette stitch body and pretty lace details at the sleeve cuffs. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner, comprehensive instructions in both chart and written formats make this project accessible to all.

The Lennon sweater is knitted in Cumbria Fingering, a lustrous yarn blend made of Merino wool, Masham wool, and mohair that ensures warmth, softness, and durability—all essential qualities for a cozy yet stylish garment. Its fingering weight and excellent stitch definition perfectly showcase the intricate lace and cable details, elevating the sweater’s overall texture and visual appeal.
