Iiris is a Finnish girl’s name derived from the Greek goddess Iris, the goddess of rainbows. Iiris’ sweater is a cropped, short hem cabled sweater that got its inspiration from the Irish Aran sweaters mixed with today’s fashion with high waist pants and jeans. It is the perfect sweater for cold winter days whether you are about to curl up with a book in your favorite chair in your favorite sweatpants or attending a party wearing your most fashionable jeans, sipping eggnogs, or mulled wine.

The construction is of a typical Irish Aran sweater; the hem and lower body are knitted in the round first, with the cable pattern on the front and plain back, then the upper front and back are worked one at a time and grafted together at the shoulder and that’s the only seaming this sweater has. The collar is made by picking up stitches at the head opening and working k2- p2 rib for a while. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the armhole and sleeves are knitted towards the cuffs.
This boxy sweater is very easy, even for beginners. There’s no shaping what-so-ever. You are welcome to shape it as you wish according to your own measurements if you have the know-how, but it is not intended to have shaping.
Iiris has unlimited sizes, starting from 32 inch bust. Smaller than that the cables won’t work. But you can go as big as you need! No size restrictions! Longer sleeves, fine! Taller body, no problem!

You can also make the sweater as long as you want /need, no restrictions!

And that’s why this pattern is a bit pricier than regular restricted sized sweaters.
