Leaf Pile Pullover
Experience the charm of a classic cable sweater with a contemporary twist by knitting the Leaf Pile Sweater. This delightful design is filled with textured, cabled fun on the front and sleeves, complemented by an easy-to-wear (and knit!) stockinette back. Perfectly sized for children from baby to preteen, this sweater acts as an ideal layering piece to keep your little ones warm and stylish during autumn play and chilly weather adventures.
The Leaf Pile Sweater is expertly crafted seamlessly from the top down, making it a rewarding project for knitters who enjoy a modern construction method. Incorporating short rows to elevate the back neck directly into the collar ribbing ensures a comfortable fit across all sizes, allowing for ease of movement that kids will love.
Important Note: This pattern is classified as intermediate-level due to the inclusion of short rows and the necessity of following multiple cable charts simultaneously while integrating new stitches into the cable designs.
The sweater showcased is crafted using a DK/light worsted 50/50 wool and cotton blend, ideal for warmer yet cozy garments. You will need approximately 360 (430, 510, 580 / 750, 860, 980) yards or 330 [390, 470, 530 / 690, 790, 900] meters of yarn. Suitable yarn options include wool, cotton, or blends, giving you the flexibility to choose materials that suit your preferences and budget for this versatile design. Create a memorable knitting experience and a cherished piece that combines warmth with playful style for your child this autumn!
