The Naila Sweater is a seamless, top-down knitted sweater featuring a beautifully textured cable panel along the sleeves and a relaxed, easy-to-wear fit. The neckline can be finished either with a classic ribbing or a folded double collar, giving you two distinct style options.

This pattern includes 10 sizes and offers two gauge options, making it highly adaptable for different yarn weights (DK, Worsted, or Aran) and personal fit preferences. The recommended ease is 5–10 cm / 2–4” for a comfortable, casual silhouette.

The Naila Sweater is part of the Naila Series, which also includes a matching headband, beanie, balaclava, leg warmers, mitts and mittens. All techniques used in the pattern are demonstrated in detailed video tutorials on my YouTube channel (Playlist: Naila).
