Bere Sweater Pattern
Dive into a knitting pattern with large dramatic cables, German short rows and clean I-cords. Here we use ribbing to create a knit-purl grid for you to create an intricate interwoven lattice effect. This allows the Bere sweater to have a comfortable and flattering fit.
This is the pattern to take your cable skills to the next level and create a stand out, versatile sweater.
