Product Description
A relaxed, boxy sweater with squishy cables running down the sleeves.
The sweater starts with working two shoulder straps that you then pick up stitches from to work the back and front separately until you reach the underarm. The rest of the body is worked in the round. This sweater is worn with the purl side out but fear not, all in-the-round parts are worked on the WS with just relaxing knit stitches. The cable pattern has both written and charted instructions.
Intertwined Relaxed Boxy Sweater by Anna Johanna
What Is Being Made
Intertwined is a relaxed, boxy knit sweater designed by Anna Johanna, featuring a contemporary silhouette with distinctive squishy cables running down both sleeves. This pullover-style sweater is engineered to be worn with positive ease, creating a comfortable, oversized fit that works across a wide range of sizes from XXS through 5XL.
Sizing and Fit
The pattern is graded across multiple size categories: XXS-XS-S-M1, M2-L1-L2-XL, and 2XL-3XL-4XL-5XL. The design incorporates approximately 11.75 inches (30 cm) of positive ease at the bust circumference, allowing for a relaxed, layered appearance. Yardage requirements range from 965 yards for the smallest sizes to 2,175 yards for the largest sizes.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
This intermediate-level knitting project employs several fundamental techniques. The body is worked in stockinette stitch, which creates a smooth, classic fabric. The defining design element features cable stitches running vertically down the sleeves, adding textural interest and visual depth to the garment. These cables are described as "squishy," suggesting they have a relaxed, dimensional quality rather than tight, crisp definition.
The sweater is constructed using circular knitting in the round, which is the modern standard for seamless garment construction. The pattern allows flexibility in sleeve construction, permitting knitters to work sleeves either on circular needles or double-pointed needles (dpns) according to personal preference.
Materials and Specifications
The pattern calls for sport weight yarn, with the original design shown in WalkCollection Merino Sport, a 100% superwash merino fiber that provides softness and breathability. The yardage per skein is 325 meters (approximately 1,062 feet) per 100 grams.
Needle requirements include:
- US 4 (3.5 mm) circular needles, 40 inches (100 cm) in length
- US 5 (3.75 mm) circular needles, 40 inches (100 cm) in length
- Double-pointed needles in US 5 (3.75 mm) as an optional alternative for sleeve work
The recommended gauge is 20 stitches by 33 rounds over a 4-inch by 4-inch (10 cm by 10 cm) swatch, measured in stockinette stitch worked in the round. Knitters should adjust needle sizes as needed to achieve the correct gauge for proper fit.
Yarn Requirements by Size
Skein quantities and total yardage vary by size category to accommodate the range of finished measurements. Smaller sizes require 3-4 skeins (965-1,160 yards), medium sizes require 4-5 skeins (1,230-1,510 yards), and larger sizes require 5-7 skeins (1,660-2,175 yards).
