Caledonia

Caledonia, inspired by the ancient Roman term for Scotland, beautifully captures the essence of the Scottish Highlands. This stylish, slightly cropped jumper features a stunning Argyle cabled diamond and twisted stitch pattern that adds a unique texture and sophistication to your wardrobe.

The Caledonia jumper is designed with set-in sleeves and is expertly knitted using DK weight Lore from The Fibre Company. This delightful piece is constructed flat, involving the back, front, and two sleeves, all worked from the ribbed bottom edging up. For added finesse, the neckband is picked up from the neck cast-off edge and knitted in the round, ensuring a polished finish. The lower part of the garment and the sleeves showcase an intricate Argyle diamond pattern of cables and twisted stitches, contrasted perfectly against a background of reverse stocking stitch. Meanwhile, the upper sections feature a cozy, textured moss stitch pattern that adds depth and visual interest.

One of the standout features of the Caledonia jumper is its versatility: the cable pattern can be followed using a detailed chart or written instructions, catering to knitters of all skill levels and preferences.

Yarn: The Fibre Company Lore (DK; 250 m/273 yds per 100g hank; 100% Lambswool) is recommended, requiring 4 (5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8) hanks in the gorgeous shade of Happiness. This luxurious yarn not only enhances the jumper's aesthetic appeal but will also keep you warm and comfortable.
