Ikirouta

Ikirouta is an updated and stylish take on the classic ski jumper design, perfect for your winter wardrobe. This top-down raglan sweater features stunning wide cable panels elegantly displayed on both the front and back pieces, showcasing your knitting skills. A cozy, high turtleneck not only enhances the sweater's visual appeal but also keeps you warm and toasty, making it an essential piece for braving the coldest winter breezes.

With waist shaping integrated into the design, this sporty sweater boasts a flattering slim look while the wide ribbing at the hem ensures a comfortable and secure fit around the hips. The turtleneck, hem, and cuffs are all meticulously crafted in a stylish 2x2 ribbing pattern, adding both texture and sophistication to the final garment.

The Ikirouta pattern offers two length options for the ribbed sleeve cuffs. Choose the shorter cuffs for that classic sportswear silhouette, or opt for the longer, fold-over cuffs that feature optional thumb openings for an extra touch of warmth for chilly hands. This versatility makes it easy to customize your look based on your personal style and comfort needs.

This knitting pattern is designed with user-friendliness in mind, incorporating both metric and US terminology for greater accessibility. To further enhance your crafting experience, the pattern includes both written and charted instructions for the intricate cable pattern, helping knitters of all skill levels to successfully create this beautiful piece.

The gauge for this project is 14.5 stitches × 24 rows = 10 cm / 4" in stockinette on larger needles, blocked, ensuring that your finished sweater maintains its structure and elegance.
