Lang 267-27 Sweater Jumper Knitting Pattern

Lang 267-27 Liza Knitted Sweater

Garment Overview

The Lang 267-27 Liza is a knitted sweater pattern designed by Lang & Co. AG. This downloadable PDF pattern provides comprehensive instructions for creating a sophisticated pullover sweater featuring decorative cable and lace elements throughout the design.

Construction Method

This sweater is constructed using a bottom-up seamed approach, meaning the body and sleeves are knitted starting from the lower edges and worked upward before being joined together with seams. The pattern utilizes both flat knitting (working back and forth on straight needles) and circular knitting (working in the round) techniques, allowing knitters flexibility in their preferred construction method depending on the garment sections.

Stitch Techniques and Details

The Lang 267-27 Liza incorporates multiple advanced knitting techniques to create visual interest and texture:

• Cable stitches: The pattern features extensive cable work, created by placing stitches on cable needles and crossing them over or under subsequent stitches. These include various cable combinations such as 3-stitch and 4-stitch cables worked in different directions, creating twisted rope-like textures that add dimension to the sweater.
• Lace stitches: Decorative lace elements are incorporated through yarn overs and decreases, creating openwork patterns that provide an elegant, breathable quality to portions of the design.
• Decreases: The pattern employs slip-stitch decreases (slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over) and knit 2 together decreases to shape the garment and create the lace motifs.
• Yarn overs: These create the characteristic holes and eyelets found in lace patterns, adding visual texture and lightness to the design.

Pattern Structure

The pattern is organized around a 13-stitch repeat that forms the basis of the decorative pattern sections. The charted instructions progress through 61 rows, providing detailed row-by-row guidance for executing the cable and lace combinations. The pattern begins with 50 stitches at the foundation, establishing the width for the initial garment sections.

Materials Required

Knitters will need appropriate yarn weight as specified in the pattern (Lang Yarns brand recommended) and knitting needles in the correct size to achieve the desired gauge. Cable needles are essential for managing the cable stitch techniques throughout the project. Depending on the construction method chosen, either straight needles for flat knitting or circular needles for in-the-round sections will be required.
