Ceol
Introducing Ceol, an exquisite pullover that beautifully embodies the spirit of Irish music with its intricate Celtic cable designs. The name "Ceol," which means music in Irish, reflects the harmonious flow of cables that transition into smaller patterns before transitioning into a smooth stockinette stitch, creating a rhythmic visual akin to melodic notes. This delightful sweater features a classic crew neck, elegantly finished with a decorative I-cord, adding a touch of sophistication to its overall design. While the body showcases a dance of cables, the sleeves feature a more subtle approach with just two petite cables centered for a refined look. Crafted in pieces, Ceol is made from the airy Norwegian combed wool yarn, Ask, sourced from the esteemed Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, ensuring both comfort and durability.
Yarn: For this stunning design, we recommend using Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk Ask, a high-quality yarn composed of 100% wool with a generous length of 315 meters per 100 grams. The sample pullover is beautifully knitted in the captivating shade of Melert turkis 6584. Depending on your size choice, you will need 4 (4, 4, 5, 5) (6, 6, 7, 8) skeins, equating to approximately 996 (1090, 1184, 1280, 1460) (1640, 1820, 2031, 2242) meters of yarn.
Gauge: Achieve a perfect fit by following the gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch, using a 3.5 mm (US 4) needle. Make sure to measure a 10 cm square after blocking to ensure accuracy in your knitting.
Notes: This delightful pullover is thoughtfully worked back and forth in individual pieces before being seamed together for a polished finish. The neckband, which adds a refined touch, is knitted in the round. To complete the elegant look, stitches are picked up and knitted from the first round of the neckband for an I-cord bind off decoration, enhancing the overall beauty of this design. Whether you are an experienced knitter or looking to expand your skills, the Ceol pullover pattern provides an enjoyable knitting experience and a stunning result. Elevate your wardrobe with this unique piece that celebrates the art of knitting and the allure of Celtic craftsmanship.
