Knitting Pattern | FREYA Sweater

Freya is an oversized cable zipper sweater, which is worked seamlessly from the top down. You can optionally choose to include small metal rings into the cable pattern, adding them to as many cables as you like. The shoulders are formed using a saddle shoulder construction. The front and back of the armholes are then knitted flat separately and joined back together in the round. Optional body shaping can be added as well as the body length adjusted to your liking. The body is finished with a 1x1 ribbed hem. Stitches are picked up around the armhole, where the sleeve is knitted with a sleeve cap shaping through German Short Rows. After working decreases in the round to shape the sleeve, it is then finished off with a 1x1 rib stitch cuff.
