Husavik Sweater
Discover a modern twist on the classic Fisherman’s sweater with the Husavik pullover—a loose-fitting, carefree sweater perfect for any coastal adventure. This versatile design features a stylish wide boat neckline, long ribbed cuffs, and a unique reverse-stockinette body, beautifully contrasted by a structured ribbed bodice. Ideal for both casual outings and cozy evenings by the shore, this sweater is an essential wardrobe staple that blends comfort and style harmoniously. Whether you're planning to go whale watching or relaxing dockside, you'll embrace your inner fisherman as you showcase this charming piece, reminiscent of the quaint details found in timeless fishing villages.
SIZING: For the best fit, I recommend choosing a finished bust measurement that is 8-10 inches (20.5-25.5 cm) larger than your actual bust measurement, allowing for a comfortable, relaxed silhouette.
Sample is size 45.75 with approximately 10 inches of positive ease for a cozy fit.
YARN: The sample uses Bare Naked Wools - Better Breakfast Fingering ‘Muesli’ (450 yds/115g, 55/35/10 Merino/Alpaca/Nylon), but feel free to explore other delightful fingering weight yarns that match the gauge. For instance, you could experiment with Cascade 220 Fingering, Cascade Heritage Fingering, or Madelinetosh Twist Light to personalize your Husavik sweater. Embrace your creativity and make this beautiful sweater truly your own!
With its relaxed fit and seaside charm, the Husavik pullover is not just a pattern; it's an invitation to create a piece that celebrates both comfort and style.
