Geometric Logic. Timeless Texture. Meet your new favorite knit.

If you’ve been looking for a project that looks high-end but follows a satisfying, clear logic, the Sweet Diamonds Sweater is it. I designed this piece for the knitter who loves structure: bold diagonal cables that travel across the fabric to form striking, architectural diamonds.

Framed by soft moss stitch panels, these diamonds are the ultimate statement. Whether you knit it in a moody jewel tone or a classic neutral, this sweater is engineered to be the centerpiece of your handmade wardrobe.

The sweater is designed to adapt to your favorite texture. You can achieve the perfect look in two ways:
The Clean Look: Use a single strand of DK weight yarn on 5 mm needles for crisp, well-defined cables.
The Fluffy Look: Hold a strand of DK yarn together with a strand of Lace weight (like Silk Mohair) on 4 mm needles for a softer, more romantic halo.

The Sweet Diamonds Sweater is worked from the top down in a textured pattern. Starting with the back yoke, worked with increases to shape it. Then, stitches are picked up along the top of the back yoke to knit the shoulders, which are joined together to form the front yoke. The front and back yokes are then joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round while continuing the texture. The sleeves are worked in the round from stitches picked up along the armholes. A ribbed neckline finishes the sweater.

The pattern includes instructions for three different neckline options:
Turtleneck
Simple Neckband
Folded Neckband
