Daydream Zephyr sweater
Summer calls for effortless knitting projects! The Daydream Zephyr sweater is a perfect example of how to knit a sweater that’s both stylish and beginner-friendly!
This sweater is named after the gentle breeze of the Mediterranean, and can be knitted with plant-based yarn for those summer evenings, or with a soft wool for cozy autumn weekends.
It’s a “basically basic” design featuring timeless thin elegant stripes, and a simple cable pattern that adds a touch of charm.
♥ SKILL LEVEL: Designed for knitters who know how to knit and purl. The pattern offers step-by-step instructions and a full video tutorial for creating this sweater with confidence.
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/IhU7ZIpnVgg
♥ PATTERN. Instant download PDF file in both cm and inches. Additionally, I’ve prepared a Knitting Project Planner exclusively for the top-down raglan sweater, including a round counter.
♥ LANGUAGE: English (use ChatGPT or Gemini to translate it into your native language).
♥ METHOD: This sweater is crafted seamlessly using circular needles, and it’s worked from the top down. It starts at the neckline, progressing into a yoke. We’ll add rows to the Back, working flat between the raglan lines to create a flap that shapes the neckline.
The yoke is then divided to create both the body and sleeves, which are finished separately.
♥ CUSTOMIZE Your Sweater: Choose your style, sleeve length, and fit.
♥ 10 SIZES: 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL. Check out the chart on the photo to help you decide which size to choose.
This sweater is designed with approx. 15-19 cm/ 6-7.5 inches of positive ease.
I am wearing a size S and, I am 168 cm tall (5’6’’) with a 89 cm (35 inches) bust circumference.
♥ YARN
I used Drops “Belle” yarn (53% Cotton, 33% Viscose, 14% Linen, 8 ply / DK / worsted, 50 g/ 120 m or 1.8 oz/131 yards).
Nautical Zephyr: Main color #26 pearl, and contrast color #20 navy blue.
Dune Zephyr: Main color #03 light beige, and contrast color #25 forest brown).
You will need (approx):
Main color: 7-7-8-8-9-9-10-11-11-11 - 50 grams/1.8 oz skeins for your size.
Contrast color: 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 - 50 grams/1.8 oz skeins for your size.
Or:
Yardage Main color: 800-865-950-1035-1060-1145-1205-1315-1400-1435 yards.
Yardage Contrast color: 150-170-180-200-200-210-225-235-255-260 yards.
- If you substitute with a not-plant-based yarn, you’ll likely need 2-3 more skeins.
24 Yarn options! Check the FREE DK yarn guide for this sweater! https://www.esenique.com/dk-weight-yarn-guide-1
♥ NEEDLES:
- For neck, cuff, and body ribbing: 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles in the following lengths: 40 cm (16 inches), and 80 or 100 cm (31 or 40 inches).
- For yoke, body, and sleeves: 4 mm (US 6) circular needles in the following lengths: 40 cm (16 inches), and 80 or 100 cm (31 or 40 inches).
♥ CABLE NEEDLE.
♥ TAPESTRY NEEDLE. Used to slip the sleeve stitches onto scrap yarn and to weave in ends.
♥ STITCH MARKERS = 8 pcs.
♥ GAUGE is 20 sts x 29 rows in a 10x10 cm (4x4 inches) piece in stockinette stitch on 4mm (US 6) needles (after blocking).
