Avalanche by Heidi Kirrmaier

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

This super basic pullover is all about one simple detail: the wide cable and lace panel falling down the front. Since it’s worked in an aran to bulky weight yarn, the lace looks modern and the sweater knits up in no time! It is knit seamlessly in the round from the top down, with short row shaping at the neckline.

Use any aran / bulky yarn, or 2 strands of sport weight yarn held together (as long as you can get the correct gauge). If holding yarn double, you’ll need 2 times the amount indicated below.

Intended to fit with approximately 1 - 4 inches (3 - 10 cm) of positive ease. Body length from underarm is 14 ½ inches (37 cm). If you wish to lengthen it, you will require more yarn. Each additional pattern repeat requires approximately 30 - 50 yds more yarn, depending on size.
