Product Description
This intriguing and elegant, yet simple Voyager Sweater starts with 2x2 Rib hem, with a side opening. The front and back are joined and worked in the round for two (shorter), or three (longer) pattern repeats. At the armscye continue to work flat, separately for front and back. The two sides are joined at the shoulders by Kitchener stitch. The stitches for the sleeves are picked up along the armscye, start at the underarm, pick up the stitches at the front, continue at the back and join the stitches in the round. Knit the sleeves top down in the round with slight bell shape towards the bottom. The cable is done in the front and back with purl columns next to it, while the rest of the sweater is worked in stockinette stitch. A turtle neck collar of 1x1 rib is worked from picked up stitches along the neck opening.
Voyager Sweater by Stana D. Sortor
What Is Being Made
The Voyager Sweater is a knitted pullover sweater designed by independent designer Stana D. Sortor. This garment is available in an extensive range of sizes, from 30.25" (77 cm) bust circumference up to 55.25" (140 cm), with two length options to accommodate different preferences. The finished sweater measurements at bust range from 32.5" (82.5 cm) in the smallest size to 57.5" (146 cm) in the largest size, with length options of 22.50" (57 cm) for the shorter version and 27.25" (69 cm) for the longer version.
Techniques and Construction
This is an intermediate-level knitting project that uses traditional sweater construction methods. The pattern is provided as a downloadable PDF format, making it accessible for knitters who prefer digital patterns. The sweater is designed to be worked in chunky weight yarn, which allows for relatively quick project completion compared to lighter yarn weights while still creating a substantial, wearable garment.
Yarn and Materials
The Voyager Sweater is designed to be knitted with Cascade Yarns Eco Peruvian Tones in Bulky weight. This yarn is composed of 100% Peruvian Highland Wool, offering a natural fiber choice with excellent warmth and durability. Each skein provides 478 yards (437 meters) per 250g (8.75 oz). Yardage requirements vary by size and length selection:
- Shorter length versions: Range from 835 yards (764 meters) for the smallest size up to 1235 yards (1130 meters) for the largest size
- Skein quantities: Shorter length requires 2 to 3 skeins depending on size; longer length requires 3 to 4 skeins depending on size
Knitters will need appropriate needles for chunky weight yarn to complete this project, though specific needle sizes are referenced in the complete PDF pattern documentation.
Ideal for Knitters
The Voyager Sweater is well-suited for knitters with intermediate experience who are ready to tackle a full sweater project. The chunky yarn weight makes this an approachable choice for garment construction, as the larger stitches work up quickly and are easier to troubleshoot than finer gauges. The extensive size range makes this pattern accessible to a wide variety of body types and fit preferences.
