Materials Needed

  • Yarn: Worsted weight tweed yarn in deep navy, charcoal, and specks of silver
  • Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
  • Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

Body of the Sweater

  1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 120 stitches using your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles.
  2. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 rib (knit 1, purl 1) for 2 inches.
  3. Switch to Stockinette Stitch: After completing the ribbing, switch to stockinette stitch (knit every row).
  4. Incorporate Tweed Pattern:
    • Alternate between deep navy and charcoal yarn every 6 rows.
    • Every 10th stitch, randomly add a silver speck of yarn to create a unique texture.
  5. Continue Knitting: Keep knitting until the piece measures 18 inches from the cast-on edge.

Dividing for Sleeves

  1. Bind Off for Sleeves: Bind off 6 stitches at the beginning of the next two rows.
  2. Decrease: Decrease 1 stitch at each end every other row until you have 90 stitches remaining.
  3. Work Even: Continue knitting until the piece measures 24 inches from the cast-on edge. Then, bind off all stitches.

Sleeves

  1. Pick Up Stitches: For each sleeve, pick up 60 stitches around the armhole.
  2. Knit in the Round: Knit in the round, maintaining the tweed pattern. Decrease 1 stitch every 8th row until you have 40 stitches remaining.
  3. Knit Sleeve Length: Continue knitting until the sleeve measures 18 inches from the armhole. Then, bind off.
  4. Repeat: Repeat the above steps for the second sleeve.

Finishing Touches

  1. Seam Shoulders and Sides: Use a mattress stitch to seam the shoulders and sides of the sweater together.
  2. Neckline: Pick up stitches around the neckline and knit in 1x1 rib for 1 inch.
  3. Final Bind Off: Bind off the neckline stitches.
  4. Weave in Ends: Finally, weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle for a neat finish.
