Are you ready to take on the challenge?

The Kaamos KAL cable knit sweater designed by Piia Maria Pekkanen is a 35-day challenge. By following the carefully planned schedule, you are sure to succeed! If you don't have enough time to knit a whole sweater, you can make the project easier by knitting a vest instead.

You can start the challenge with a warm-up

First, we will learn about the structure and knitting of the cable pattern used in the sweater instructions. Once you are familiar with the Kaamos cable pattern, knitting the sweater will be easier right from the start. During the initial training, you will complete a beautiful and warm headband.

Outdoor fits under a jacket

The outdoor sweater has narrower sleeves, and you can knit a high polo neck or a low round neckline to suit your taste.

Perfectly oversized Cottage

The sweater has a long hem that reaches to the hips and puffy sleeves with narrow elastic cuffs.

Modern and trendy Office

Wide sleeves and a loose V-neck make this sweater loose-fitting and cool enough for indoor use.
