Cabled Sweater
Welcome to our Knitting Pattern for a cozy ladies' sweater, featuring a beautiful aran style cable pattern that guarantees both warmth and snuggly comfort. This sweater is perfect for chilly days and ideal for layering. We recommend using the incredibly fluffy yarn Adriafil Soffio Plus, which adds a delightful softness and luxurious feel to your finished garment. Originally published in the Knit Today Magazine, March 2014 issue, this pattern was created using Wendy Osprey Aran yarn.
MEASUREMENTS - This sweater is designed to fit bust sizes: 81/86, 91/97, 102/107, and 112/117 cm (32/34, 36/38, 40/42, 44/46 in). The actual bust measurements are 106.5 cm, 116.75 cm, 129.5 cm, and 137 cm (42 in, 46 in, 50 in, 54 in). You can choose between a short back length of 48 cm, 50 cm, 52 cm, and 54 cm (18¾ in, 19½ in, 20½ in, 21¼ in) or a longer version as shown in the photo at 56 cm, 58 cm, 60 cm, and 62 cm (22 in, 23 in, 23½ in, and 24½ in). The sleeve seam measures 45 cm, 46 cm, 47 cm, and 48 cm (17½ in, 18 in, 18¼ in, and 19 in). This allows for a snug fit that beautifully flatters your figure.
MATERIALS - You will need 6(6:7:8) balls of 50g Adriafil Soffio Plus yarn in shade 53, with each ball containing 150 metres (164 yards). If you opt for the longer version, you’ll require 8(8:9:10) balls of the same yarn. For this project, you'll also need a pair of no 4.5 mm (US 7/UK 7) needles and a pair of no 5 mm (US 8/UK 6) needles, as well as a cable needle for those intricate cable details.
To Substitute Yarn: You can use the correct length of any aran weight yarn that achieves a tension of 18/19 stitches and 24/25 rows over stockinette stitch on no 4.5 mm needles to ensure a perfect fit for your sweater. Follow this pattern for an enjoyable knitting experience and a beautifully crafted piece you'll cherish for years to come.
