5 Must-Makes From Designer Faina Goberstein

Let the Interweave Knits Winter 2024 issue transport you to a winter wonderland of cozy knits! This remarkable edition features 14 extraordinary projects to immerse yourself in the uniqueness of specially crafted yarns.

I am always on the lookout for wardrobe staples. Versatility is essential but so are classic designs, as this ensures that I can wear my clothes for seasons to come. These five projects by designer Faina Goberstein caught my eye. They are perfect for a sustainable and unique wardrobe.

Versatile Garments

Museum Piece Pullover

If your sweater collection needs something cute and casual, Faina has you covered. The Museum Piece Pullover is perfect for warmer weather but can be worn year-round with the right accessories. It is made with soft Merino/bamboo blend yarn, making it perfect for any season. Waist shaping and dramatic yoke create a flattering silhouette on this short-sleeved sweater.

Progressive Pullover

The Progressive Pullover is the perfect staple for your fall and winter wardrobe. The sweater features 3/4 length sleeves and a color shifting pattern that adds boldness to the design. It can be worn with almost anything to add just enough of a statement to your outfit. The pullover uses two different yarns, Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend (70% Merino wool and 30% silk), and Manos del Uruguay Clara (100% superwash Merino wool) for a sweater that’s both warm and silky soft.

Viola’s Coat

Viola’s Coat is a timeless, year-round piece. This cardigan is perfect for cool spring and summer nights but can easily be layered for fall and winter. The belt brings in the waist, creating a piece flattering for any body type. The blend of wool and silk makes the knitting smooth and satisfying.

Timeless Accessories

Bath Abbey Hat

The Bath Abbey Hat will spice up a simple outfit. This cozy beanie will keep your ears warm during the cooler seasons and makes for a fun statement. The design features slip-stitch colorwork to add texture and pops of color.

Winter Cable Scarf

I am all about staying cozy during the cooler months. You’ll use super bulky yarn for this scarf, allowing for the ultimate piece to help bundle you up when the weather starts turning. The Winter Cable Scarf features a bold horseshoe cable knit design. The best part about this scarf? Easily wear it as a cowl by pulling the ends through the crisscrossing cables.

I hope you love these five projects as much as I do! If you love Faina Goberstein’s designs, consider signing up for her Interweave @ Home class on brioche knitting, which is happening this upcoming May.

Happy Knitting,
