Mer Sweater

The Mer sweater, a beautiful knitting pattern, was inspired by my mother and originally designed with her elegance and classic style in mind. As a woman who appreciates simplicity and soft textures, I aimed to encapsulate these qualities within one stunning design. The intricate cable patterns are reminiscent of ocean waves, gracefully imitating their smooth and twisting motions. The name 'Mer' translates to 'ocean' in French, while it also phonetically echoes 'mere,' meaning 'mother' in French, symbolizing the heartfelt connection to family.

This fitted pullover features a flattering waist shaping and is crafted using a luxurious blend of alpaca and mohair yarn, enveloping you in the dreamy softness that feels like wearing a cloud. Not only does the finished garment exude effortless elegance, but the knitting experience itself is incredibly soothing and enjoyable. Perfect for those chilly days or cozy evenings, this sweater is an essential addition to any wardrobe.

The Mer sweater is knit from the top down, starting with a stylish turtleneck, and seamlessly crafted in the round. It employs a raglan-style construction, making it suitable for knitters who are comfortable knitting in the round, as well as executing increases, decreases, and cable crosses. This pattern also incorporates short rows, which are carefully written out row-by-row for ease of understanding.

Whether you're planning to create a heartfelt gift for a loved one or treat yourself to a sophisticated and classic piece, this Mer sweater knitting pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters looking to enhance their skills.
