FABIO

Discover our stylish knitting pattern for FABIO, featured in the ebook "KNIT Design Three / STRICK Design Drei," available for purchase in our online shop, Regina Moessmer Design. This versatile sweater is perfect for knitters looking to create a chic yet comfortable garment.

In the FABIO pattern, we take a unique approach to traditional sweater construction by using kfbf (knit front, back, front) increases instead of the usual slanted increases. This innovative technique allows you to create two stitches from one, resulting in beautifully soft raglan lines that enhance the overall silhouette of your sweater. All cuffs are crafted with a [k2, p2] ribbing pattern, lending a polished and refined finish to your project.

FABIO is designed to be knitted seamlessly from top to bottom, making it not only enjoyable to create but also minimizing the need for finishing work. The neckline is shaped using the German Short Rows technique, which provides a comfortable fit while you simultaneously execute raglan increases for the sleeves. Once you've completed the upper body, the sleeve stitches are divided and placed on stitch holders, allowing you to focus on the lower body section before returning to knit the sleeves for a streamlined process.

This pattern is suitable for knitters of various skill levels and is a fantastic addition to your crafting repertoire. With its modern design and easy-to-follow instructions, you'll love wearing the FABIO sweater or gifting it to a friend.
