Havin
Seamless Knitting Pattern for the Havin Sweater
The Havin Sweater is a beautifully designed, seamless knit that offers both style and comfort. This pattern is crafted from the top down, ensuring a flawless fit that complements a variety of body types. The journey begins with an increase in both the right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) rows, leading to the final shoulder width. Once the shoulders are established, both the front and back pieces are worked flat until reaching the underarm. Here, you'll join the front and back to create a tapered body that is continued in the round, enhancing the sweater's sleek silhouette.
Customization is key with this pattern. You have two delightful finishing options for the body: a classic ribbing or a trendy I-Cord finish. Whether you prefer a snug fit or a more relaxed style, this flexibility allows you to create a unique garment tailored to your taste. Additionally, you can choose from optional short or long sleeves. Simply pick up stitches around the arm openings and knit them top down in rounds, allowing for easy adjustments and personal flair. Finally, the neck finishing, which is worked last, adds the perfect touch for a polished look.
Original yarn recommendations: Biches & Bûches Le Petit Organic Cotton, Rosários4 Alvor, and Fonty Tartan 3 are ideal choices to give your Havin Sweater a luxurious feel and vibrant finish.
Gauge: Achieve your desired fit with the recommended gauge of 22 stitches x 32 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) square. This ensures that your project turns out exactly as envisioned, making your knitting experience enjoyable and satisfying.
Long Sleeve Version Yardage: For those opting for long sleeves, you’ll need between 1073 and 1899 yards (980 to 1736 meters), depending on the size you choose (sizes range from XS to 3XL).
Short Sleeve Version Yardage: The short sleeve option requires between 865 and 1722 yards (790 to 1574 meters), also varying by size, ensuring there’s a perfect fit for everyone.
