Bergamo sweater

Introducing the **Bergamo Sweater**, a stylish and contemporary knitting pattern that combines practicality with fashion. This unique design features a short front and a longer back, creating a flattering silhouette that enhances any wardrobe. The Bergamo Sweater showcases a cozy turtleneck and long, wide sleeves for added comfort and warmth—perfect for chilly days. This exquisite sweater is meticulously crafted using a top-down method in a classic Stockinette stitch pattern, making it easy to follow for knitters of all skill levels. The first part begins with a flat back section, utilizing M1L and M1R increases to shape the yoke beautifully. Once the back is complete, you will move on to the front section, effortlessly transitioning into the body, which is worked in rounds for a seamless finish. Taking it a step further, the neck, cuffs, and hem are designed in a lovely Pearl Rib stitch pattern, adding a touch of elegance to this knit. The Bergamo Sweater body can be tailored to your preference; it’s designed to be worked straight, allowing you to easily adjust the length. Just remember to estimate additional yarn if you decide to customize the fit. This fashionable knit is perfect for individuals who crave distinctive clothing pieces that stand out from the crowd. The Bergamo Sweater is not just a project; it’s an opportunity to express your unique style and creativity. **Yarn Used:** For this sweater, we recommend **Lamana, Bergamo**, which is a high-quality yarn blend of 75% wool and 25% alpaca wool. Each 25g (0.9oz) skein offers an impressive 65m (71 yds) of gorgeous yarn, in a stunning colour no. 28M that will elevate your knitting experience. **Yarn Weight:** This pattern requires a total of 375 (400) 425 (450) 475 (500) 550 (600) g of yarn depending on your size, which translates to approximately 975 (1040) 1105 (1170) 1235 (1300) 1430 (1560) m or 1065 (1136) 1207 (1278) 1349 (1420) 1562 (1704) yds. **Gauge Specification:** To ensure a perfect fit, pay attention to the gauge: a 10cm x 10cm (4” x 4”) swatch should yield 17 stitches x 25.5 rows in Stockinette stitch after washing.
