This pattern is being test knit with an aimed release of January-February 2027. Follow asawki knits on Instagram @asawki_knits for release news.

The Davenport Sweater is a seamless, top-down raglan pullover featuring a simple cable motif. Knit in superwash merino, the Davenport has a relaxed classic fit with about 6” of ease. German short rows shape the back neck. The collar is picked up and knit last.

Construction: top-down and seamless. Cast on at the neck, work short rows to raise the back neck, then increase along the raglan lines to the underarm. The body and sleeves are worked in the round from there, and the collar is picked up at the end.

Skills: cables, German short rows, raglan increases, picking up stitches, reading charts.

The pattern includes:

  • 10 sizes, from 35.25” to 65” (89–165 cm) finished chest
  • fully charted short rows for every size group & written instructions for everything else
  • a size table with finished measurements
