Vintage Charm, Modern Style & Seriously Gorgeous Yarn! Meet your next sweater obsession!
The Edith Sweater by LeKnit is the perfect blend of vintage inspiration and modern style. With its bold, eye-catching cables, relaxed silhouette, and effortlessly chic fit, this sweater is destined to become a favorite in your handmade wardrobe.
Inspired by traditional fishermen’s sweaters with a nod to the oversized knitwear of the 1980s, Edith gives classic cable knitting a fresh, contemporary twist.
And because beautiful patterns deserve equally beautiful yarn, we’ve curated two dreamy yarn options for our Edith Sweater kits!
Edith is worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning with the back and front sections. Short rows shape the shoulders and neckline, while the gorgeous cable pattern takes center stage. The body is joined and worked in the round, followed by a ribbed neckline and simple stockinette sleeves.
Interesting construction, satisfying cables, and plenty of just one more row moments!
Choose Your Yarn Adventure!
OPTION 1: Cashmere Sock + Baby Kid Mohair
Soft, fluffy, and oh-so-luxurious! The original pattern calls for two strands of fingering-weight yarn held together with one strand of baby kid mohair. We’ve paired our favorite cashmere-blend sock yarns with coordinating mohair shades to create some irresistible combinations.
The result is a beautifully soft, airy fabric with a delicate halo and luxurious feel. Like wearing a cozy cloud!
OPTION 2: La Bien Aimée Merino Aran
Plump, squishy, and beautifully defined! For knitters who prefer a single strand, we’ve created an equally gorgeous option using Merino Aran from La Bien Aimée.
This wonderfully plump merino creates a soft, substantial fabric with incredible stitch definition, allowing Edith’s bold cables to really shine.
No juggling multiple strands—just one delicious yarn and miles of happy knitting!
