Bingley
Introducing an exquisite men's yoked sweater pattern, meticulously knitted in the round using the luxurious baa ram ewe Dovestone DK yarn. This stylish knitwear is available in sizes ranging from XS to 2XL, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
This stunning sweater draws inspiration from the Bingley Five Rise Locks on the historic Leeds and Liverpool canal, completed in 1774. These locks remain an iconic symbol of the picturesque canals in Yorkshire today. The unique design features a subtle knit and purl pattern on the yoke, artfully representing the five locks along with their six pairs of gate mechanisms, ensuring this piece is not only functional but also a tribute to Yorkshire's rich heritage.
Sizes available include XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL), designed to accommodate chest measurements of 30-32" (34-36", 38-40", 42-44", 46-48", 50-52"). The finished chest size for the sweater is 36" (40", 44", 48", 52", 56"), providing a comfortable fit that is perfect for layering or wearing solo.
When it comes to yarn requirements, you'll need 5 (6, 6, 7, 8, 9) skeins of Dovestone DK or 1150 (1380, 1380, 1610, 1840, 2070) metres of DK weight yarn. This premium yarn ensures a soft, cozy feel while maintaining the garment’s structure and warmth.
For this project, you’ll also need a 4mm/US 6 circular needle, 80cm/32" long, along with 4mm/US 6 double-pointed needles (DPNs) if you prefer not to use the magic loop technique for the sleeves and neckline. Additional tools include stitch markers and scrap yarn, which are essential for keeping track of your progress as you knit this beautiful piece.
The pattern includes comprehensive written and charted instructions, making it accessible for knitters of various skill levels to master the yoke pattern stitch with confidence.
