SKILL LEVEL:

Intermediate - This pattern is for those 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.

Notes from the Designer:

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. 

• Click the Videos tab to watch a tutorial on how to work the cables in this pullover.
• It is advisable to read through the entire pattern before you begin and highlight the rows and directions for your chosen size.
• To add length to the body, continue to work in pattern longer before the underarm bind off.
• The front and back pieces are identical until the neckline shaping. Both the lower neckline and higher neckline options can be used for either the front or the back.
• If a cable motif is to be completely bound off during either the initial neckline bind off or shoulder bind off after being worked for less than four rows, that particular cable motif can be omitted.
• If neckline shaping intersects with a cable, I suggest rearranging the stitches to where their final positions will be before performing the shaping bind off.
• If preferred, the sleeves can be made as separate pieces by casting on the stated number of stitches instead of picking them up.
• When sewing the side seams of the body, the bottom two inches can be left unsewn to create a split hem.
