Girl's and Woman's Sweaters in Sirdar Country Style DK – Pattern 7034

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Sirdar presents two classic sweater designs suitable for both girls and women: a three-quarter sleeved sweater and a short sleeved sweater. Both garments are worked in Sirdar Country Style DK yarn and feature a striking central cable panel combined with stocking stitch sections, making them an excellent project for knitters who are ready to develop their cable knitting skills. The pattern covers an impressive range of sizes, from a 24/26 inch chest suitable for girls right through to a 44/46 inch bust for women, making it a genuinely versatile pattern for the whole family.

Design One: Three-Quarter Sleeved Sweater

The three-quarter sleeved sweater is a stylish, wearable design that works beautifully across all the included sizes. The three-quarter length sleeves give it a contemporary feel, making it suitable for layering or wearing as a standalone piece through transitional seasons.

Techniques and Stitches Used

Both sweater designs in this pattern make use of a combination of classic knitting techniques that give the finished garments their structured, textured appearance. The central cable panel is a key feature of both designs and requires the use of a cable needle to create the characteristic twisted rope effect beloved in traditional knitwear.
