Celtic Sweater

Introducing the stunning Celtic Sweater, a beautifully crafted knitting pattern that is designed with versatility in mind. This luxurious sweater is knitted seamlessly, allowing for both top-down and bottom-up construction, starting elegantly at the intricate cabled yoke. The unique yoke is knit flat, while the body is worked in the round, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience.

The Celtic Sweater begins with a provisional cast on, followed by the exquisite cable panel that adds a touch of sophistication and texture. To achieve a perfect fit, the cable panel incorporates short rows that delicately shape the shoulder. After completing the yoke, stitches for the neckline and body are picked up along both edges, allowing for seamless transition and beautiful lines.

Once the stitches for the body are picked up, short rows are employed to create a higher back, enhancing comfort and style. The pattern also includes precise shaping decreases and increases along the body sides, ensuring a flattering silhouette that will be worn with approximately 5-10 cm (2.0-4.0") of positive ease around the bust. The design is showcased in size S on an 84 cm (33") bust, highlighting its elegant structure and fit.

Yardage: The Celtic Sweater requires varying yardage depending on the size, with estimates of 964 (1060, 1156, 1253) (1349, 1445, 1542)m / 1050 (1155, 1260, 1365) (1471, 1576, 1681)y. This makes it a fantastic project for knitters looking to create a cozy and stylish addition to their wardrobe.
