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

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!
