Daintree
Introducing the Daintree Sweater – a beautifully crafted knit featuring an elegant cable pattern on each side of the body. This versatile design is perfect for any season, offering a spring/summer version without sleeves and a stylish scoop neckline, as well as an autumn/winter iteration with long sleeves and an elongated body for extra warmth and comfort.
The Daintree sweater is intricately knitted seamlessly from the top down, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience. You’ll start your project at the shoulders, incorporating short rows and increases to shape the neckline perfectly. The back and front sections are worked flat up to the armholes, after which you’ll join them to continue the body in the round, ensuring a clean finish. For the long-sleeve version, the sleeves are effortlessly picked up at the armholes and knitted in the round, providing a tailored fit.
**Gauge:** Achieve a knitted fabric of 24 stitches x 35 rows = 4” x 4” using 3.5mm (US4) needles in stockinette stitch.
