Saxi
Introducing the Saxi Fitted Cabled Pullover, a stunning addition to your knitting repertoire that combines intricate design, rich texture, and cozy warmth. This pullover features a unique I-cord crown around the classic crew neckline, offering a stylish finish to your knitwear collection. The beauty of Saxi lies in its masterful play of textures—starting with the round cable shape that is elegantly mirrored in the honeycomb pattern. This is further enhanced by alternating purl bands throughout the stitch patterns, each adding depth and richness to the overall aesthetic. Notably, the squareness of the check pattern provides a striking contrast to the flowing cables, completing the textural journey on the sides of the pullover. Named "Saxi," inspired by the Saxon heritage in Norse mythology, this sweater is exquisitely knitted using luxurious Donegal Tweed yarn, known for its unique flecks of color and warmth. The pullover is crowned with a versatile cowl that can be styled in two ways: worn folded as a chic high collar or opened up as a trendy headband, offering versatility for any occasion.
Measurements: The cowl measures 50 cm/19.75" wide and 20 cm/7.75" high, designed to fit comfortably in one size.
Yarn Details: The meterage required for this pattern is as follows: 1088 (1224, 1360, 1496, 1632) (1768, 2020, 2272, 2524) meters, accommodating a range of sizes.
Gauge Information: The knitting gauge for the Saxi pullover is 24 stitches and 34 rows in stockinette stitch, measuring 10 cm/4" square. Achieving this gauge is essential for a perfect fit and the overall look of your project.
Knitting Notes: For those looking to enhance their knitting skills, note that the pullover is knitted in separate pieces and then seamed together for a professional finish. The neckband is skillfully worked in the round, with stitches picked up and knitted from the first round of the neckband to create a neat I-cord bind off decoration, adding an extra element of finesse to your handmade garment. Embrace your creativity with the Saxi Fitted Cabled Pullover, and take your knitting skills to new heights while creating a beautiful piece to wear and cherish. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a novice eager to challenge yourself, this pattern is a must-have for anyone passionate about crafting unique, high-quality knitwear.
