Bubala

Introducing the Bubala—Yiddish for "close to one’s heart"—this beautifully crafted cabled pullover is designed to keep you cozy and stylish. With its playful bobbles and deep V-neck design, the Bubala can be worn flipped front to back for added versatility. The unique cabling feature elegantly splits into two single cables, creating a striking visual effect, while a matching single cable adorns the sleeves for coherence. The ribbed sides help to frame the cables, making this sweater a figure-hugging yet comfortable option for any occasion. The V-neckline finishes with a refined I-cord bind-off, giving the garment a polished touch. Crafted from the luxurious and bouncy Sølje pelt wool provided by Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, the Bubala offers warmth without sacrificing style.

Gauge: Achieve a precise gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rows in stockinette stitch using a 3 mm/US 2.5 needle, which measures 10 cm/4” square after blocking—essential for ensuring a perfect fit.

Notes: This stunning pullover is worked back and forth in separate pieces before being seamed together, allowing for detailed construction and finishing. The charming bobbles are created using a crochet hook along with an extra fastening technique, which is thoroughly explained in our exclusive video tutorial.
