Abbey Road Sweater

Introducing the Abbey Road sweater—a cozy Fair Isle design that beautifully captures the vibrant colors of Scottish wildflowers in the summertime. This stunning knitting pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create a unique, fashionable piece that combines comfort and style.

The Abbey Road sweater features a roomy, long-sleeve silhouette with a high-hip length, designed specifically with 10" of positive ease for a relaxed fit. This makes it not only comfortable but also versatile enough to be dressed up or down. The allover colorwork pattern showcases two different motifs that are skillfully integrated throughout the body and sleeves, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.

Crafted with love, the body of the Abbey Road sweater is knitted in the round from the bottom up. The innovative design includes steeked neck and armholes, allowing for seamless incorporation of the sleeves and collar. The shoulders are expertly joined using a 3-Needle Bind Off technique, ensuring durability and stability. Following the steeking process, stitches are picked up around the armhole edge and neck to knit the sleeves and collar, creating a polished finish. For your convenience, the intricate colorwork patterns are provided both in written format and charted, making it easy for knitters of all levels to follow along.

For reference, the sample is a size 42" finished bust, modelled on a 5'6" tall individual with a 32" bust, showcasing the inviting drape and structure of this delightful sweater.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just beginning your crafting journey, the Abbey Road sweater pattern is an excellent addition to your collection. Embrace the charm of Fair Isle knitting and let your creativity flourish as you bring this beautiful design to life!
