For those who have mastered basic knitting techniques and are ready to expand their skills. Patterns may introduce slightly more complex techniques and patterns, such as shaping, increasing, decreasing or working multiple colors or easy lace patterns. The yarn weight may vary, and the patterns might introduce working with double-pointed needles or circular needles. Patterns will help knitters gain confidence and experience with new techniques while still working within a manageable level of difficulty.
The Savasana Sweater is a follow-up design from Winter's Weather Knits' Savasana Cardigan. Designer Joey created the cardigan at a time when she was working from home and adopted poor posture habits that gave her back and neck problems. A daily yoga practice that ended in 'Savasana' (corpse pose) allowed Joey to disconnect and let the stress of the workday drift away. The cable motif represents the knots in her neck, while the simple stockinette stitch is the relaxation she sought to achieve in the Savasana pose. The Savasana Cardigan was such an elegant addition to Joey's wardrobe that she had to make a pullover version. The Savasana Sweater has extra ease and drape with even more cozy vibes, while still featuring that lovely 'knotted' cable detail on the front and back.
The Savasana Sweater is knit from the top down, so you can try it on as you go, and the finished length is easily modified for your perfect fit. Stitches are cast on for the collar and knit in the round. The yoke is then continued in the round until the appropriate chest and sleeve circumferences are achieved. The sleeves are then separated from the body and both are knit in the round with decreases to create a tapered fit.
