Introducing the Kalmia Sweater — a beautifully designed and comfortable drop shoulder sweater that showcases an array of engaging colour and texture combinations. This knitting pattern is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a stylish garment.

Techniques Used: This detailed knitting pattern guides you through creating a bottom-up drop shoulder sweater. The body is worked flat in reverse stockinette, featuring a unique cable motif incorporated through Intarsia on one front half, ensuring a distinctive look. Additionally, the round neck shaping adds to the sweater's elegance.

The shoulders are shaped using the wrap & turn short rows technique, which are then seamlessly joined with a three-needle bind-off for a polished finish. The sides of the body are expertly seamed using mattress stitch, providing a clean and professional appearance. For added versatility, sleeves are picked up and worked in the round, tapered with thoughtful decreases to create the perfect fit.

Other techniques featured in this pattern include slipped stitches, a captivating cable motif that combines garter stitch and simple 4-stitch cables, as well as simple stranded knitting in the round using two contrasting colours. The sweater is finished off with a stylish 2/2 ribbed hem, collar, and cuffs, making it a wardrobe staple.

This comprehensive pattern includes charted instructions only, making it ideal for visual learners. Available in both English and French (from page 13), the Kalmia Sweater is suitable for knitters of varying skill levels who are keen to explore advanced techniques while creating a cozy, eye-catching piece.
