Le Knit - Siri Sweater - Paper

A sweater with cables is a manageable project when the cable stitches are worked in stockinette stitch on most rounds, and only every 4th or 6th round is braided. The cables are combined with a small simple pattern in double seed stitch that looks nice and full in blow yarn and in a combination of wool and mohair. The sweater has one cable in the middle of each sleeve and three cables in the middle of the front. The back is in double seed stitch.

Construction

Worked from the top down. First, the double neck edge is worked in rib. Then the pattern is established and at the same time the reverse rows are worked to the neckline and the raglan is increased. All of this is described row by row. When the reverse rows are done, the piece is finished in the round. The first rounds are also described row by row, but once the front pattern is established, the pattern is continued according to the diagram, which shows the pattern more easily.

Size selection

Siri sweater is intended to have a range of motion of approx. 18-25 cm. In the pictures it is shown with a range of motion of approx. 20 cm. The fit is flexible so choose a size larger or smaller if you want more or less range of motion. The stated length is measured at the center back, excluding the neckline.
