Galt Riverstone
Introducing the Galt Sweater, a stunning knit pattern showcased in Knitpicks City Tweed HW. This soft, cabled sweater is an essential wardrobe staple for knitters of all levels. The design features a traditional aran style infused with subtle modern touches, making it a versatile addition to any clothing collection. Thoughtfully crafted decreases are incorporated between the intricate cables, creating a flattering hourglass silhouette that narrows at the waist while beautifully widening at the bust and hips.
This timeless piece boasts fitted, set-in sleeves and a sophisticated shawl collar with a collar stand, elevating its tailored look and setting it apart from conventional aran sweaters. The Galt Sweater is expertly knitted in pieces from the bottom up, allowing you to master your knitting skills while creating a beautiful garment. Each component—fronts, back, sleeves, and collar stand—is knit separately and then skillfully assembled to ensure a perfect fit. To complete the elegant design, the front band and collar are picked up and knit afterwards, adding an extra layer of refinement.
The sweater pays homage to Galt, Ontario, my beautiful hometown, rich in history. This charming city, nestled along the banks of the Grand River, was established by skilled Scottish stonemasons, and its stunning, timeless stonework is beautifully mirrored in the distinct cables of this classic garment. Whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or enjoying a cozy day at home, the Galt Sweater is sure to become a cherished piece in your knitting repertoire.
