Neva
Introducing the Neva Tabard, a stunning knitted garment that perfectly embodies the essence of winter with its Spanish name meaning 'snowy'. This elegant tabard features intricately designed front and back panels adorned with a snowflake-like cable pattern. The unique side panels are crafted using a cozy garter stitch, enhancing both comfort and style. Each panel is finished with delicate I-cords, and all components are seamlessly knitted together to create a flawless finish. The Neva Tabard is made using the luxurious Sølje pelt wool yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, ensuring warmth and durability in colder climates.
Yarn: For this beautiful tabard, we recommend using Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk's Sølje Pelsull. This yarn is composed of 100% pelt wool, which offers exceptional softness and warmth. It comes in a length of 350 m/383 yds per 100 g skein. The sample is knitted in the delightful Oker 2108 shade. Please note that you will need 3 (4, 4, 5, 5) skeins for sizes 1015 (1155, 1295, 1435, 1575) meters, depending on your chosen size.
Gauge: To ensure a perfect fit, achieving the correct gauge is essential. For the Neva Tabard, aim for 24 stitches and 32 rows in stockinette stitch using 3 mm/US 2.5 needles, which should yield a 10 cm/4” square after blocking.
Notes: The construction of the vest involves knitting back and forth in two separate pieces that are skillfully joined together using a 3-needle bind off at the shoulders for extra stability. After this, an I-cord is carefully knitted along the side edge, followed by the crafting of the side panel. The side panel is then skillfully attached to the opposite side using a neat 3-needle bind-off, completing the seamless design of this chic tabard. Perfect for layering over your favorite turtlenecks or dresses, the Neva Tabard is a versatile addition to your winter wardrobe.
