Introducing the stunning "Helvellyn Sweater," a beautifully designed knitting pattern named after Helvellyn, a majestic mountain in the picturesque Cumbrian Lake District of North West England. This eye-catching sweater features a bold trellis stitch pattern expertly interspersed with single twisted ribs and a simple yet effective cable design. The central cable gracefully leads up towards the neck division, elegantly splitting at the neck to frame the collar, offering a touch of sophistication to your knitwear collection.
The innovative cross-over inset collar not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides exceptional warmth and comfort, making it perfect for chilly days. Designed with versatility in mind, this knitting pattern is suitable for women as well; you can easily reverse the joining of the collar to the neck edge at the front for a flattering fit. Whether you're looking to make a cozy sweater for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this pattern is perfect for knitters of all levels.
