Gaylia

Introducing the Gaylia A-Line Sweater, a beautifully textured knit that combines elegance with everyday functionality. This stunning sweater features a unique textural cross cable design that gracefully adorns the body, complemented by stylish vents for added flair. At the v-neck, the crossover cable seamlessly transitions into two smaller cables that run down each side, adding a refined touch. The sleeves showcase a playful check pattern that mimics the look of delicate cables, providing an eye-catching contrast. Named "Gaylia," derived from the Norse word meaning jovial, this sweater is perfect for any casual occasion and is crafted from Dale, Pure Eco Wool, ensuring warmth and comfort with each wear.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch, measuring 10 cm square. The 24-stitch cross cable spans 8 cm across, while the 21 stitches and 30 rows in the check pattern also measure 10 cm square, allowing for precision in your knitting process.

Notes: The construction of the Gaylia A-Line Sweater is as enjoyable as wearing it. The front and back are skillfully worked back and forth, while the stylish sleeves are knit in the round for a seamless look. Each side features a few garter stitches as a side band that enhances the visual appeal, and the sleeve boasts a faux seam crafted from garter stitch. Additionally, the accompanying scarf is a delightful addition, knitted in two parts and finished with garter stitches, then expertly bound off using a 3-needle bind-off technique.

Whether you’re an avid knitter looking for your next project or a beginner eager to enhance your skills, the Gaylia A-Line Sweater pattern offers a delightful challenge and a beautiful finished piece. Embrace the joy of knitting with this charming design that promises to become a staple in your wardrobe!
