Inverness Sweater

Discover the timeless elegance of our classic aran sweater pattern, featuring a flattering a-line shape that enhances your silhouette. This stunning design incorporates a twisted rib detail that seamlessly introduces the intricate long cables, elegantly divided with charming rays of honey and seed stitch side panels. Expertly knitted in the round from the bottom up, this sweater showcases a modified dropped shoulder along with a classic round neck highlighted by a luxurious double twisted rib finish.

The a-line sweater is thoughtfully constructed, allowing for comfortable wear while maintaining a chic look. The body and sleeves are knitted in the round, ensuring a smooth, clean finish up to the armhole, where they meet for the final bind-off. This pattern cleverly accommodates larger sizes with wider upper bodies by incorporating shorter sleeve lengths, effectively preventing the garment's overall "wingspan" from becoming excessively wide, thus ensuring a perfect fit for every shape.

Yarn: This pattern features Plymouth Yarn, Galway Worsted (100% wool, 100 g, 210 yds/192 m). The sample is knitted in Natural. For larger sizes, the yarn requirements are as follows: 1437 (1497, 1557, 1737, 1897, 2077) meters or 1571 (1637, 1702, 1899, 2074, 2271) yards.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rounds in stockinette stitch, measuring 10 cm square. Ensure your gauge is accurate for the best results, as it directly impacts the overall drape and fit of the sweater.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this aran sweater pattern is an ideal project to enhance your skills while creating a beautiful, wearable piece. Don't miss the chance to add this classic design to your knitting collection and enjoy the satisfaction of wearing your handmade masterpiece.
