Hello, my lil’ dewdrop! This week, I have a sophisticated, knitted pullover pattern that I’m totally tickled to share with you! Keep reading to learn all about it!
Xami was designed by J. Miyo. When asked about her pattern, J. said, “Xami is a relaxed-fit sweater with a cable motif inspired by butterflies taking flight. This sweater is meant to be a light layering piece, perfect for transitional seasons. The cable motif is spread out to create a subtle texture on the ribbed background and to maintain the airy quality of the fabric. This would be a good project for those who would like to practice their cabling technique without having to knit a thick winter sweater. The body pieces are worked separately from the bottom up, after which they are seamed so that stitches can be picked up for the sleeves and collar to finish it.”
This Intermediate level pattern is for knitters who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include sweater construction, cables, slipped stitches, and blocking.
Xami is knitted with our scrumptious Harmony Yak Fingering yarn, which is a deliciously soft and silky, luxurious, single-ply yarn that’s ideal for next-to-skin projects. Supremely soft, durable, breathable, and draping, this extraordinary blend is ideal for treasured items. Harmony Yak Fingering is made from 65% Superwash Merino Wool, 20% Silk, and 15% Natural Yak with 437 yds/400 m per skein. It’s slinky and puddly and divine!
The sample shown here was made with our elegant Walrus Harmony Yak Fingering yarn. The pattern is offered in sizes XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL, 3XL) (4XL, 5XL, 6XL), which correspond to finished bust sizes of 35.75 (40, 44.25, 48.5) (52.75, 57, 61.25) (65.5, 69.75, 74.25)” / 89.5 (100, 110.5, 121.5) (132, 142.5, 153.5) (164, 174.5, 185.5) cm. The sample is shown in size Small and is modeled on a 34″ (86 cm bust) with 4″ (1o cm) of positive ease.
You will need three to seven skeins of Harmony Yak Fingering yarn, depending on your selected size, or approximately 1192 (1342, 1478, 1658) (1802, 1982, 2136) (2315, 2497, 2680) yds / 1090 (1227, 1351, 1516) (1648, 1812, 1953) (2117, 2283, 2451) m total.
