Knitting Pattern Women's Aran Cabled Jumper #1045

Instant Digital Knitting Pattern Download

A flexible design that is compatible with any yarn brand you choose.

A classic Double Knitting (DK) raglan pullover with strong, traditional texture placement: a bold central panel combining cables and bobbles, framed by textured sections and finished with clean knit 1, purl 1 rib at the hem and cuffs. The sweater is worked flat in separate pieces (back, front, and sleeves), then sewn together for a structured finish. Raglan shaping creates a neat shoulder line, while the deep ribbed neckband is worked in knit 1, purl 1 rib, folded to the inside, and slip stitched down for a tidy, stable neckline that sits well at the base of the neck.

This design suits knitters who enjoy counted texture and cable work without overly complex finishing: the main body fabric is anchored by a repeating 12-row pattern sequence, and the sleeves continue the same look with a centred panel that keeps the motif consistent across the whole garment. The result is a practical, wearable pullover with visual impact at the front and a balanced silhouette from every angle—ideal as an everyday sweater in a smooth DK wool, a superwash DK for easy care, or a wool blend DK for added durability and softness.

Sized to fit a 81 (86; 91; 97) cm / 32 (34; 36; 38) in bust. Choose a DK (8-ply) yarn that meets the stated tension, and swatch carefully before starting to ensure the intended fit and fabric definition—especially important for cables, bobbles, and textured stitches.
