Celestial Seas Pullover
Introducing our elegant top-down colorwork pullover, a stunning addition to any knitting enthusiast's wardrobe! This unique design features two beautifully contrasting fingering weight colorways that were specifically chosen to complement one another. The intricate wave pattern along with the yarn's ability to catch and reflect light inspired the name of this delightful design. Although this pattern includes short sleeves, we provide detailed instructions for adjusting sleeve lengths to fit your personal style.
The colorwork technique is straightforward and accessible, making this project ideal for beginners eager to learn color knitting. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your journey, this pullover offers an engaging way to enhance your skills while creating something truly beautiful.
Yarn Requirements: We recommend using Space Cadet Celeste, a luxurious blend of 100% superwash Merino wool that boasts 490 yards per 100 grams. For this pullover, you'll need 2(2, 3, 3, 3, 4) skeins of the main color shown, paired with 1 skein of your chosen contrast color. Keep in mind that opting for long sleeves may require additional quantities of the main color. Our sample features the yarn color That’s What She Said as the contrast (visible at the top) and Fred, While You’re Up as the main variegated color. The sample, designed for a 40-inch bust and a 12-inch body length, utilized 60g of the contrast color and 110g of the main color.
Necessary Tools:
- US #4/3.5mm circular needle, 32 inches or longer (larger sizes may find a longer needle more comfortable).
- Set of US #4/3.5mm double-pointed needles, or your preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round.
- Remember to choose a needle size that achieves the specified gauge.
This delightful colorwork pullover is not just a knitting project; it’s a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship that you can wear with pride. Embrace this opportunity to express your unique sense of style through hand-knitted fashion!
