Artyarn yoked pullover 409

This is a fantastic way to utilize that funky handspun yarn you discovered on your latest yarn adventure! If you're looking for color options, the main color (MC) can be any type of plain, thick aran weight or chunky yarn, allowing for creativity in your color choices.

Yarn Requirements: For the main color yarn, you will need 604 (686, 790, 864, 977, 1051) meters or 661 (750, 864, 945, 1069, 1150) yards of aran or chunky weight yarn. Specifically, you will require about 4 (4, 4, 5, 5, 6) skeins of Malabrigo Worsted yarn for the main color. Additionally, the contrast color yarn (CC) for the yoke should be approximately 72 meters (78 yards) of any artistic "art yarn" style super bulky yarn that complements the MC.

This sweater is designed to be knit in pieces first, allowing you to work flat before joining the pieces together. Once joined, you’ll transition into knitting rounds of ribbing for the yoke. If you find yourself with an abundance of art yarn, don't hesitate to extend the yoke further into a stylish cowl — the possibilities are endless!

Tension Gauge: For perfect results, aim for a tension gauge of 16 stitches and 22 rows per 10 cm (4 inches) over stockinette stitch (St st) using the main color yarn and 5.5mm needles. When you switch to the contrast color yarn for the ribbing, you should achieve a gauge of 12 stitches and 18 rows per 10 cm (4 inches) using 6.5mm needles. This ensures that your finished sweater will have the right fit and drape, making it a wonderful addition to your wardrobe.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, this sweater pattern is a delightful project that combines creativity with functionality. Perfect for cozy layering, it showcases your unique flair while making great use of beautifully textured yarns. Dive into your stash and start crafting your new favorite sweater today!
