Cayley Pullover

Finished Measurements Chest circumference: 36¼ (40½, 44¼, 47½, 51¾)” / 92 (103, 112.5, 120.5, 131.5) cm. This elegant design is showcased in size 40½” / 103 cm with a flattering ½” / 1 cm of positive ease, making it the perfect addition to any wardrobe.

Yarn You will need 9 (10, 10, 11, 13) skeins of O-Wool Balance, a luxurious blend composed of 50% certified organic merino and 50% certified organic cotton (130 yds/120 m per 50 g). In total, that amounts to approximately 1100 (1200, 1250, 1380, 1600) yds/1006 (1097, 1143, 1262, 1463) m of worsted weight yarn. The sample is beautifully crafted in O-Wool Balance in the stunning Malachite shade, which adds a rich touch to this timeless piece.

Needles For this project, you will need one 32”/80 cm circular needle in sizes US 7/4.5 mm and US 5/3.75 mm. Additionally, a 16”/40 cm circular needle in size US 5/3.75 mm is required. Don’t forget to have needles for small circumference knitting, such as DPNs or a long circular needle for the magic loop technique, in sizes US 7/4.5 mm and US 5/3.75 mm. Feel free to use a different needle size to achieve an accurate gauge after blocking, ensuring a perfect fit.

Notions Gather the essential notions: removable stitch markers, a cable needle for intricate designs, waste yarn for holding stitches, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and finishing touches.

Gauge It is crucial to achieve the correct gauge for optimal results. Aim for 17 stitches and 24 rows = 4”/10 cm in stockinette stitch using US 7/4.5 mm needles, and ensure to check your gauge after blocking. Additionally, the 14-stitch repeat of Cable Chart A or B should measure approximately 2½”/6.5 cm on US 7/4.5 mm needles after blocking.
