A handsomely cabled pullover is never out of style, and a long-wearing mid-weight yarn is the perfect choice for a sweater to see you through the decades. At first glance, Svenson appears to be composed of traditional Aran motifs, but the honeycomb texture of the central panels incorporates purl stitches to unusual effect, and the flanking horseshoe cables playfully experiment with scale. A moss stitch ground and half-twisted rib edges complete the study in textures, putting Arbor through all its paces.

Brooklyn Tweed Backbay
Classic Aran style goes minimalist in a pretty pullover with just enough details. Honeycomb panels flanked by crocheted bobbles and mirrored cables adorn the front and back on a plush bed of gently textured moss stitch. Several inches of positive ease keep the fit relaxed enough for weekend wear, but professional good looks make Backbay fetching with a wool skirt and tights or a smart pair of trousers, too. Backbay is knit with Shelter in the round to the armholes; the front, back, and set-in sleeves are then worked flat and seamed together.

Brooklyn Tweed Rowlock
The ever-so-slightly cropped Rowlock sweater is modishly refreshing. Knit flat in pieces from bottom to top with no body shaping to contend with, Rowlock offers a clean slate upon which shapes can play. Arbor yarn and its supreme stitch definition lends itself beautifully to each knit, purl, and cable twist, enhancing the allover geometric motif that works its way across the body and sleeves. Traditional ribbing at the hem and cuffs riff off of the garter stitch at the neck, keeping this beguiling pullover feeling casual, cool and incredibly wearable.

Brooklyn Tweed Nolan
A boxy silhouette and a surface design of cabled chevrons add up to a graceful layering piece. Stockinette sleeves keep the focus on the motif of tiny cables, which is charted and easy to read from the knitting. The pert collar begins in double rib but finishes in a stockinette roll as a simple but elegant counterpoint to the width of the body. Nolan is worked in Arbor for beautiful definition and midweight warmth. Designer: Julie Hoover Collection: Winter…

Brooklyn Tweed Valemount
A curved short-row hem and mirrored suspender cables dress up this comfortable pullover in double moss stitch. The cables’ width is graded to match the finished dimensions of the sweater to ensure perfect proportions. The front and back are worked flat from the bottom up, with short rows shaping the hems; the straight torso makes for a long swath of predictable knitting. Set-in sleeves are knit circularly to the armholes and then completed working flat for a tidy fit and a stable finish. The ribbed neckband is worked to double length and then sewn down inside for a strong and elastic finish.

Brooklyn Tweed Birch Bay
Delicate cables form decorative oak leaf medallions to paper the extra-wide fabric of this poncho-like pullover. On a ground of reverse stockinette, the cable motifs stand in relief like woodblock carvings. Side vents and exaggerated drop shoulders give this garment easy style, while a loose turtleneck provides a double layer of warmth around your neck. Birch Bay’s front and back are knit flat and sewn together; stitches for the double-ribbed sleeves and neck are picked up and worked in the round. Tubular hems and chain selvedges ensure a tidy finish everywhere.

Brooklyn Tweed Spinnaker
Dress up or down in a classic V-neck pullover distinguished by lush textures. Designed to fit with several inches of ease, Spinnaker layers comfortably over work wear or casual tees. Forking cables embedded in a field of cluster stitches on reverse stockinette keep the knitting engaging, but the motifs are easy to read and memorize. Though the body is worked straight to the armholes, the cables create flattering lines and give the suggestion of waist shaping.

Brooklyn Tweed Cascades
A mossy evergreen forest rendered in textured stitches. Cascades is a classic pullover in Shelter with panels of tree motifs in twisted stitches against a ground of double moss stitch. Columns of tiny, mirrored cables define the shifts in stitch pattern to create flattering vertical lines and pleasing side details. The body and sleeves are worked circularly from the bottom up and joined at the yoke, which is worked in the round until the neck shaping. The twisted-rib cuffs and hem flow beautifully from a rib cabled cast on, a useful technique fully explained in the pattern.

Brooklyn Tweed Millisande
The generous shawl collar of this richly textured classic pullover will keep you nice and warm. The simple, bold, mirrored cables on a ground of moss stitch create flattering vertical lines on the body and can be worked from written instructions or from charts, according to your preference. Millisande is knit in the round from the bottom up to the underarms without shaping; the yoke and set-in sleeve caps are completed flat and shaped with sloped bind-offs for tidy, traditional construction. After seaming, the collar is shaped by picking up stitches first from the back neck.

Brooklyn Tweed Hathaway
“Ribbed garments are really nice to wear – the gentle stretch of the knit and purl fabric allows the garment to shape easily to your body for a very flattering fit. Add some cables to the ribbing and I’m in heaven! This classic aran pullover is worked in the round from the bottom up with set-in sleeves that are worked using short rows from the top down. Finished with a classic shawl collar, it’s a great garment to cozy up in.” –Carol Feller Designer: Carol Feller Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Brooklyn Tweed Blume
Blume is a classic pullover perching serenely in a comfortable spot between oversized and fitted. Its fabric features rippling cables surrounding purls on a predominantly stockinette body, rather like marbled rock or traveling vines. While expressively textured, the allover placement of the cables makes Blume’s fabric appear evenly balanced and leaves enough room for a deep and luxurious folded-over turtleneck to weather the crisp chill. This pullover in Arbor is worked flat, in pieces, from the bottom up, then sewn together. After assembly, the collar is picked up and worked in the round.

Brooklyn Tweed Loess
“The inspiration for Loess came from my life on Île de Ré, an island off the west coast of France — very wild and natural, with a little smell of sea spray. This stole is light, soft, and worked with bands of crisply defined patterning.” – Christine de Castelbajac Riffles of openwork and crossed stitches punctuate the smooth surface of stockinette in this elegant, modern scarf. The pattern offers two sizes, a small scarf and a generous wrap.

Shelter marls make the simplest fabrics eye-catching, and exposing the pebbled texture of the purl side only heightens the effect. The Mossbank pullover adds ribbed edges in a coordinating solid color as a grounding accent. Tailored shaping with set-in sleeves, a generous neckline, and just enough ease for layering make this sweater the kind of simple basic that quickly becomes indispensible as a wardrobe anchor. Mossbank is worked flat and seamed, with the neckband knit in the round after assembly. Designer: Kerry Robb Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Brooklyn Tweed Auden
“This design draws inspiration from both the new and old. I was intrigued by the modernity and drape of an oversized dolman tee, and I also loved the soft femininity of the simple, delicate prints of liberty cotton and vintage summer dresses. This pullover combines the two into the best of both worlds: a gentle, fern-like, allover cable motif joins with a loose and wonderfully drapey shape to create the perfect spring or summer sweater.” – Bristol Ivy Designer: Bristol Ivy Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Brooklyn Tweed Tree Rings
“This pi shawl gracefully blends Elizabeth Zimmermann’s traditional construction with fresh textures. While many pi shawls employ only lace patterns, this one focuses on rich texture and motion, drawing the eye from the center outward and then around the circumference of the circle as the chevrons point the way. The stitch patterns used are very simple and can easily be memorized, but the resulting fabric is mesmerizing.” – Andrea Rangel Designer: Andrea Rangel Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Uncomplicated yet thoughtful in shape, this piece is a sure layer to reach for during the cool hours of a misty morning. The garment in Arbor is worked flat in one piece from the bottom to the armholes, then back and fronts are worked separately to the shoulder. The front bands are picked up and knit after shoulders are seamed. The sleeves are knit flat and set in.

Brooklyn Tweed Berenice
Here is the lovely Berenice all grown up! This piece features the same delightful combination of delicate lace and cables from little Berenice, but trades the reverse stockinette background for knit-facing stockinette, and the short-sleeved dolman construction for a long-sleeved, boxier drop-shoulder, resulting in a garment that is simultaneously relaxed and refined. Work Berenice in Loft for light, tweedy texture that feels like a cloud or in Peerie for a sleek and polished drape. This pullover is worked flat, in pieces, from the bottom up, then sewn together.

"The thick strands of both Arbor Lodge and Quarry are ideal for oversized cables and this quality was the starting inspiration point for this vest.
