Himalaya Sweater

I'm thrilled to share that my daughter Christina, who wears a size medium in her clothing, has requested a custom-knit sweater from me. She dreams of a warm, snug-fitting garment perfect for chilly days. This elegant sweater features a straightforward bottom-up construction that makes it accessible even for those with intermediate knitting skills.

In my comprehensive PDF pattern, you'll find detailed step-by-step instructions, including a handy chart with all necessary measurements for each size. I understand that embarking on a knitting project can be daunting, so I've included supportive photos of every stage of the process to guide you along the way. Throughout my knitting journey, I make sure to take numerous photos to document my progress, and I'm excited to share that experience with you.

In this pattern, I provide specific numerical guidance on how many rows to work for each part of the sweater, tailored to every size. You will also learn how many stitches you’ll have in the shoulders upon completion, how many increases to make, and exactly in which rows to do so. My aim is to ensure you feel confident and safe as you embark on your own knitting project to create this beautiful garment.

This sweater is designed for knitters at an intermediate level and is estimated to take approximately 15 hours to complete. The pattern includes a range of adult sizes: small, medium, large, x-large, and 2x-large, accommodating various body types.

Here are the finished measurements for the sweater:

• Small Chest Circumference: 37" (94cm)
• Medium Chest Circumference: 39" (99cm)
• Large Chest Circumference: 43" (109cm)
• XLarge Chest Circumference: 46" (116cm)
