Angostura

This stunning sweater design was inspired by my trip to the Edinburgh Yarn Festival last March, making it a perfect moment to release this pattern exactly one year later. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pullover combines classic style with modern appeal.

Just like how Angostura bitters elevate the simplest of cocktails, the intricate cables and beautifully shaped shoulders add remarkable interest to this classic pullover design. With contemporary shaping, unique construction methods, and an engaging back panel that’s easier to knit than you might think, this sweater stands out as a sophisticated piece for any wardrobe.

Knitted seamlessly from the bottom up, this sweater features a saddle shoulder design and a charming strap detail across the back. The loosely shaped pullover provides ease around the hips, complemented by flattering A-line shaping in the body. The combination of the shaping and saddle shoulder construction guarantees a comfortable yet stylish fit through the shoulders while enhancing the elegant lines of the sweater.

The sample was crafted using Blacker Yarns British Classic DK, known for its quality and comfort. Below, you’ll find suggested substitute yarns that can beautifully replicate the look and feel of this pattern, allowing you to customize your project based on your personal style and preferences.

This knitting pattern is perfect for anyone looking to create a unique and beautiful piece that combines traditional techniques with modern design elements. Get ready to knit a sweater that’s not only fashion-forward but also a joy to wear!
