Product Description
Air Sweater by Lisa Richardson
What is Being Made
The Air Sweater is an intermediate-level knitted pullover designed by Lisa Richardson for Rowan. This downloadable PDF pattern provides instructions for creating a classic crew-neck sweater available in multiple sizes ranging from 54 to 94 cm bust measurements (approximately 21 to 37 inches). The garment features a traditional pullover construction with a back panel, front panel, and sleeves that come together to form a complete sweater.
Techniques Used
This knitting pattern employs several fundamental techniques suitable for intermediate knitters. The sweater begins with a ribbed cuff at the hem, created using a two-by-two rib pattern that provides elasticity and structure. After the ribbed section, the pattern transitions to stockinette stitch, which is worked flat in rows. The pattern includes shaping techniques such as increases and decreases distributed throughout specific rows to achieve proper fit across the various size options. Knitters will work the back panel first, then proceed to construct the remaining pieces before seaming them together.
Stitches Used
The Air Sweater primarily utilizes two essential knitting stitches. The pattern begins with a two-by-two ribbed stitch (knit two stitches, purl two stitches, repeated across the row), which creates the textured cuff section at the bottom of the sweater. Following the ribbed section, the pattern transitions to stockinette stitch (knit on right-side rows and purl on wrong-side rows when working flat), which creates the smooth, classic fabric that comprises the main body of the sweater. The pattern also incorporates a striped pattern worked in two colors, adding visual interest to the finished garment.
Materials
The Air Sweater is designed to be knitted with Rowan Tweed Haze yarn in a chunky weight. The pattern calls for two colorways: Winter (A) in shade 550 and Clear Blue (B) in shade 551. Yarn quantities vary by size, with requirements ranging from 3 to 5 balls of 50-gram skeins depending on the chosen size. Knitters will need size 8 (5mm) needles for the ribbed cuff sections and size 9 (5.5mm) needles for the main body of the sweater, allowing the fabric to relax slightly after the initial ribbed edge.
