HABIBI

Introducing the stunning HABIBI sweater, a true embodiment of craftsmanship and style, perfect for knitters seeking a unique and cozy addition to their wardrobe. The name “HABIBI,” which means “darling,” reflects the love and care woven into every stitch of this exquisite piece. Crafted from Herzfasern’s favorite yarn, °50, this sweater is not only beautiful but also made from a luxurious blend of 67% silk, 23% mohair, and 10% polyamide, offering both warmth and comfort. With approximately 350 meters per 100 grams, this yarn provides a perfect foundation for your knitting project.

The HABIBI sweater is designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down, making it an enjoyable and efficient project for knitters of all skill levels. To get started, the pattern employs Susie Myers’ innovative Contiguous method for shoulder yoke increases, ensuring a perfect fit and elegant lines. Once the shoulder yoke is established, you will work slanted increases for the sleeves, while also enhancing the intricate cable patterns on both the front and back sections of the sweater.

After expertly separating the sleeves, you will effortlessly transition to working the lower body and sleeves in a smooth stockinette stitch, allowing the beautiful yarn to shine through. The finishing touch involves carefully picking up stitches for the neckline, followed by a refined I-cord bind-off technique over two stitches for not just the neckline, but also the hem and sleeve cuffs, adding an extra professional finish to your creation. For those looking to make a fashionable short-sleeved version, the flexibility to explore your favorite colors allows for a truly personalized piece; let your creativity run wild with beautiful color combinations! The sleeves, too, are finished with an I-cord bind-off after a few rounds, ensuring cohesion throughout the design.

This HABIBI sweater knitting pattern is perfect for advanced beginners and seasoned knitters alike, and it promises to become a cherished staple in your knitwear collection. So grab your needles, choose your favorite hues, and bring this darling sweater to life!
