Cable Bay Sweater

Introducing the stunning Cable Bay Sweater, a beautifully crafted knitting pattern inspired by a serene New Zealand inlet, where steep hills surround a tranquil bay. This exquisite sweater showcases a harmonious blend of delicate eyelet stitches and wide, intricate cables, elegantly complemented by drop shoulders, fashionable balloon sleeves, and a relaxed fit that ensures comfort without compromising style.

Knit with DK / 8 ply weight yarn, the Cable Bay Sweater is designed for a seamless knitting experience. The construction begins flat from the neckline and works down to the underarms, transitioning to the round for the remainder of the project for an effortlessly polished finish. Both the sleeves and neckline are skillfully picked up and knitted in the round, offering a sophisticated touch and enhancing the overall aesthetic.

For those adventurous knitters looking to experiment, a fantastic option is to hold yarn double. One of our testers achieved wonderful results using KnitPicks Gloss Fingering (a luxurious 70% merino and 30% silk blend) held double with KnitPicks Aloft (a delightful 72% mohair and 28% silk combination). This unique technique adds extra warmth and depth to your project, giving the Cable Bay Sweater an even richer texture and feel.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting out, the Cable Bay Sweater pattern invites you to create a cozy yet chic addition to your wardrobe. Dive into this comfortable and stylish knit, and experience the joy of crafting your very own piece that echoes the natural beauty of New Zealand’s landscapes!
