Unite sweater

£9.00

Classic versatile textured sweater in Aran yarn. This knitting pattern features cable twists and garter stitch detail.

Description

Unite is a timeless piece that you’ll be wearing for many years to come.  Decked with classic details – crew neck, set-in sleeves, crowd-pleasing cables – you will treasure this knit as much as you’ll enjoy knitting it.  Unite’s secret is the abundance of plain knit rows, which conspire to create a textured cable sweater that’s also a relaxing project.

And if you’d prefer to make a cardigan, you’re covered: hop over to the Reunite cardigan to see what you’ll get!

Starting at the hem with a rib, this basket weave and cable sweater features a classic set-in sleeve construction. Next, the Front, Back and Sleeves are knitted separately – making this a really portable project – before being seamed together. Full photo and video tutorials are included to walk you through the finishing process for this sweater. Lastly, the neckband stitches are then picked up and a simple garter stitch band is knitted on.

The sample was knitted with Something to Knit with Aran.  Unfortunately this yarn is now discontinued.  However, any Aran yarn with a stocking stitch/stockingette tension of 18 sts x 24 rows to 10cm will be an excellent substitute.  Please visit YarnSub for more guidance, and make sure you knit a test swatch!
