Athena

Just like the legendary goddess Athena, who emerged fully grown, adorned in armor, from the head of her father Zeus, the inspiration for this stunning sweater came to me in a flash the moment I laid eyes on this exquisite yarn. This sweater design combines beauty with functionality, making it a perfect addition to your knitting projects.

The loose, slouchy, off-the-shoulder fit of the Athena sweater exudes both casual comfort and stylish flair, with a delightful nod to the 80s aesthetic. Bold, eye-catching cables intricately worked up the sides of the body and sleeves, as well as along the shoulders, add not only textural richness and visual interest but also serve to replace traditional seams—effectively eliminating any extra bulk that can be typical with a chunky yarn.

Athena is designed for the modern knitter seeking quick satisfaction, as it is primarily worked in garter stitch, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience. With minimal finishing steps required, you’ll be able to revel in the instant gratification that comes from completing a beautiful project swiftly.
