From Cables to Lace

Avalanche by Heidi Kirrmaier
Cascade Ecological Wool, color 8018 Silver

We love a cozy, cabled sweater for relaxing at home & casual weekend outings!

Avalanche by Heidi Kirrmaier is that perfect piece we envision wearing in front of a toasty fire. Knit seamlessly in the round, from the top down, the sweater has the shaping & construction of a basic pullover. But then things get interesting...falling down the front is a stunning wide cable & lace panel design. The sweater truly looks great on everyone & features sizing up to a 63.5” bust.

Knit in Cascade Ecological Wool (aran/ light bulky), the sweater works up surprisingly quickly. Spun with 100% Peruvian Highland wool, the yarn comes in sweater-friendly, 478 yard (250g) skeins. It is such a pleasure to have longer, continuous knitting & fewer ends to weave in.

Materials:

Finished bust circumference: 33 (36, 39, 42, 45¼) 48¼ (51¼, 55¼, 59½, 63½)”
*Intended to fit with 1”-4” of positive ease at the bust

  • 2 (2, 2, 2, 3) 3 (3, 3, 4, 4) skeins Cascade Ecological or Eco+ yarn, sample photo in Ecological Wool 8018 Silver
  • Size US 8 & 9 circular needles (of length equal to or shorter than bust size)
  • Size US 8 & 9 double point needles or preferred method of small circumference knitting
