Alma Sweater

Alma Sweater is an oversized pullover featuring bold cables and a soft, airy look. It is worked seamlessly from the top down, with drop shoulders, wide sleeves, and a relaxed fit. The neckline is knitted in classic ribbing, while the sleeves and the body are finished in a textured pattern to preserve the garment’s aesthetic. The large cables add texture and depth, making Alma Sweater the perfect piece for anyone who wants to feel both comfortable and stylish.

The sweater begins with the back piece, which is worked back and forth and shaped with short rows to ensure a good fit. Stitches are then picked up for the shoulders, which are worked in cables and joined to form the front. The front is worked back and forth before being joined with the back to form the body, which is worked in the round. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are also worked in the round. The neckline is worked in ribbing and folded double for a neat and sturdy finish.
