Meet your new favourite sweater for autumn. Deeply textured cables and a swingy, slightly cropped shape that you’ll love layering over… just about everything, whether it’s pjs on long weekend mornings, or a maxi-dress or dramatic trousers when you finally decide to get dressed.
You'll be able to download your pattern immediately after checking out and, optionally, add it to your Ravelry library . Create an account to access all of your purchases.
Abbeyhill is worked from the bottom up, seamlessly, with a fun cable pattern followed by plenty of soothing stockinette. The spoke yoke is borrowed from a beloved ready to wear sweater, and features feathered decreases for a subtle design detail, that’s also intuitive to knit and sits just-right around your shoulders.
Abbeyhill kits make it easy to order the pattern and yarn together - simply choose your size and a colour from our selections.
We now have kits available in 2 yarn options: the Tukuwool Sock used in our original samples and Finull PT2 heathers. The Tukuwool is a little sturdier while the Finull will create a lighter weight, airier fabric. Both are great, sustainable options that will create a beautiful sweater so your deciding based on colour is totally valid!
Sport weight yarn with good elasticity, wool or wool blends are ideal.
