Helenium
If you're looking to create a stunning and comfortable sweater, the Helenium knitting pattern is the perfect choice for you! This beautifully designed sweater is knitted in the round from the bottom up, beginning with a provisional cast-on for seamless construction. The pattern starts with the sleeves, which are knitted to the underarm and then set aside on stitch holders. Afterward, the body of the sweater is crafted up to the underarm. Once the sleeves are joined to the body, the yoke is knitted to complete this lovely sweater.
Once you've finished knitting, the live stitches at the cuffs and hem are finished off with an attached i-cord, adding a polished and professional finish to your garment. This pattern is perfect for knitters who enjoy a well-structured design that results in a fashionable piece to wear for any occasion.
**Finished Measurements:** Bust: 32 3/4 (36 1/4, 40 1/2, 44 3/4, 48 3/4, 54)“ / 83 (92, 103, 113.5, 124, 137) cm Length: 24 1/4 (24 3/4, 25 1/2, 25 3/4, 26 1/2, 27)” / 61.5 (63, 65, 65.5, 67.5, 68.5) cm. The sweater is designed to be worn with an ease of 2–4” / 5–10 cm, providing the perfect balance between comfort and style.
**Suggested Yarn:** For the Helenium sweater, we recommend using Hikoo Kenzie, which comes in 160 yd/146 m per 50 g skein. This delightful blend consists of 50% New Zealand Merino, 25% Nylon, 10% Angora, 10% Alpaca, and 5% Silk Noils for a luxurious feel. You will need 7 (8, 9, 10, 11, 12) skeins in color 1018 Seal (Main Color) and 1 skein in color 1005 Bayberry (Contrast Color).
**Gauge:** To achieve the desired fit, maintain a gauge of 19 stitches and 28 rows = 4”/10 cm in Stockinette stitch using larger needles. For the softer and cozy brioche stitch, the same gauge applies at 19 stitches and 28 rows = 4”/10 cm but using smaller needles.
Get ready to enjoy the process of creating your Helenium sweater, a versatile and stylish addition to your wardrobe that can be paired with jeans for a casual look or dressed up for special occasions. Happy knitting!
