Armadillo Sweater Knitting Pattern

Introducing the Armadillo, a stylish and comfortable sweater/pullover designed specifically for men. This exquisite piece is knitted from the bottom edge up, showcasing a unique textured pattern along the sides and shoulders that beautifully highlights the male silhouette.

The Armadillo sweater pattern is created for a yarn with a gauge of 18 stitches per 10 centimeters (in stockinette stitch), which equates to a yardage of 90 meters per 50 grams. This ensures that your knitted garment maintains its shape and durability. A recommended yarn for this project is the Sandnes Peer Gynt, known for its excellent quality and ease of use.

This detailed knitting pattern includes instructions for multiple sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL, accommodating chest widths of 107 (113, 122, 131, 138, 147) centimeters, and lengths of 65 (68, 70, 72, 75, 77) centimeters. Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a gift, there’s a perfect fit for everyone!

Designed for knitters with basic skills, the pattern guides you through essential techniques such as following written instructions, making increases and decreases, picking up stitches, and working in the round. This makes the Armadillo an ideal project for those looking to enhance their knitting skills while creating a functional and fashionable piece.

To get started on your Armadillo sweater, you will need yarn, knitting needles, and stitch markers. Please note that the pattern does not come with finished items or yarn; it only includes the comprehensive instructions for knitting your own sweater or pullover.
