AVB Sweater Pattern

AVB sweater is all about texture. In this design I played with the combination of the classical cables arranged in a repetitive manner for the 2/3 of the sweater with one textured panel “breaking up“ the pattern flow. Usually the classical cable sweater is centered around one principal motif, but I wanted to break this tradition and add the fun twist to it.

DESIGN DETAILS

The combination of simple cables is fun to knit and creates a generously textured fabric

OVERSIZE FIT

For comfort and extra coziness

Wrapped stitches are addicting on the needles and create this wow-effect.

Folded cuffs for the extra texture contrast and volume

One of the main body cables is mirrored on the sleeves

GENERAL PATTERN INFORMATION

AVB sweater is a seamless drop-shoulder knit worked bottom-up in the round up to the armholes.

After dividing for the armholes, Front and Back are worked flat separately, creating a round neckline at the Front, then the shoulders are seamed together using a three needle bind-off.

The sleeve stitches are picked up from the armhole. The sleeves are knit in the round top-down in a cable stitch, mirroring the main body and finished with a folded cuff in the 1x1 ribbing pattern.

Main design features:

- Variety of cables

- Wrapped stitches

- Folded neckline

- Folded cuff
