Fit: The Hawthorn Sweater (DK) is designed as a relaxed-fitting sweater with approx. 4”-10” (10.16- 25.4 cm) of positive ease. This sweater is worked straight, with the bust circumference remaining the same down to the hips, so there is no bust or waist shaping (making it great unisex). The sleeves are tapered for a more natural fit. Neck shaping is worked to result in a naturally scooped front neckline, ensuring the sweater fits and lays properly when worn.
Sizes: XS-5XL. A detailed Size Guide is provided within the pattern.
This sweater knitting pattern, while categorized as suitable for intermediate knitters, is actually a relaxing and enjoyable project that you’ll love working on. The textural stitches have a soothing rhythm that helps you settle into a flow, making the process meditative and fun. It’s the perfect balance of engaging detail and approachable design, creating a knitting experience that’s as satisfying as it is creative.
The intermediate designation comes from a few nuanced sweater-knitting techniques and the beautiful textural stitches, but at its core, the pattern incorporates only simple knit and purl stitches. This makes it easy to follow and accessible for knitters ready to expand their skills without feeling overwhelmed. The result is a stunning, textural sweater that’s as rewarding to make as it is to wear—a true testament to the joy of crafting.
This sweater is seamlessly crafted using a top-down, in-the-round construction with circular knitting needles, following a classic raglan design. This method allows the entire sweater to be worked as a single, continuous piece, eliminating the need for any seaming upon completion. The seamless construction not only ensures a smooth, professional finish but also allows for easy fitting adjustments as you knit, making it a practical and efficient approach for creating a polished, wearable garment.
