Aibrean

Aibrean is a beautifully designed sweater that features an easy-to-follow pattern, creating an attractive nubby texture. This delightful knitting project is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, as the detailed instructions guide you word by word through the yoke increases in pattern. You'll easily master the yoke, which is first worked back and forth until reaching the final neck cast-on. After that, you'll transition into knitting in the round up to the sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are set aside so you can focus on the body first, working down to a comfy ribbing. Once the body is complete, you’ll skillfully place the sleeve stitches onto double-pointed needles (DPNs) to craft the sleeves from the top down. Finally, the elegant neck finishing is completed last, ensuring a polished look for your finished piece.

This sample is worn with approximately 3 inches of positive ease at the bust, offering a relaxed fit that enhances comfort and style.

For this lovely sweater, you'll need 4 (4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6) skeins of Sutak by Polo&Co, a luxurious blend of 50% cashmere and 50% merino wool in sport weight. Each skein weighs 100 grams and contains 291 yards (267 meters) of yarn. Overall, you'll need approximately 960 (1013, 1112, 1178, 1276, 1363, 1500) yards, or 880 (930, 1020, 1080, 1170, 1250, 1375) meters to complete the sweater.

The suggested gauge for this pattern is 20 stitches x 28 rows/rnds in stockinette stitch on larger needles, and 19 stitches x 28 rows/rnds in the lovely pattern stitch on larger needles. This ensures that your finished Aibrean sweater will have the perfect fit and texture!

Embrace your creativity with this charming knitting pattern, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating your very own Aibrean sweater that you can wear for any occasion.
