Bordeaux Sweater

Introducing a gorgeous chic sweater design crafted in a stunning striped stocking stitch pattern using luxurious Merino yarn. This beautiful sweater is expertly knitted in the round from the bottom up on a comfortable circular needle, making it an enjoyable project for both novice and experienced knitters alike.

The sleeves are skillfully knitted in the round utilizing the magic loop method, providing a seamless finish that enhances the overall aesthetic. Once the sleeves are complete, they are elegantly joined to the body where the sophisticated yoke is knitted, featuring a lovely mini cable detail design that enhances the raglan shaping (please see photos for a closer look at this beautiful detail).

It's important to note that a cable needle isn’t required for knitting the mini cable detail, which simplifies the process and makes it accessible to a wider range of knitters. This unique design not only adds texture but also elevates the overall chic appeal of the sweater.

Additionally, the wider neckline I incorporated into this sweater design is incredibly flattering, making it a versatile piece perfect for a variety of occasions. Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or keeping it cozy at home, this sweater is a fantastic choice.

This sweater is ideal for transitional seasons, providing warmth in the Winter while remaining breathable enough for Spring wear. Add this stylish and comfortable sweater to your knitting repertoire and create a timeless piece that you’ll love to wear year after year!
