Athena Sweater
Guard against any cold weather
This bulky sweater is made from 2 strands of Hobbii Snowstorm to create the perfect armour against the cold of winter. Get out your big needles and make this easy bulky lace and you will find that it knits up in no time at all.
The sweater is called Athena because she was the goddess of handicraft but also of wisdom - and she protected people, just like the jumper that keeps the wearer protected from the cold :)
Here you can easily and quickly buy everything needed for this pattern.

I loved making this jumper! Although it looks complicated, the stitches are not hard; you just have to concentrate!! And because it's on these BIIIG needles, it knits up fast.
I got extra wool (5 balls) and made mine longer, by adding repeats of the second part of the pattern. It works well.
I'm so pleased with it that I've nearly finished making a second one for my daughter, and two more after that.

Really pretty pattern. Not hard as long as you concentrate. Found was easier to knit on straight single point needles rather than the circular suggested by pattern. Only downside was that the 14 balls suggested was not enough! I have tight tension and short arms so this does not usually happen, hence marking down to three stars (if wool requirement was accurate would have been 5 stars)
