Coverack

This lovely sweater pattern draws inspiration from the picturesque village of Coverack, nestled on the gorgeous south Cornish coast. The unique design features a striking centre slip-stitch "ridge" that runs along the back and front, flanked by alternating raised ridges on either side of the centre. Additionally, this elegant centre ridge seamlessly extends through the lower rib welt, creating a cohesive look. The sleeves are primarily crafted in stocking stitch and incorporate two slip-stitch ridges that elegantly flow into the saddle shoulder design.

To fit chest sizes: 34-36 [38-40: 42-44: 46-48: 50-52] in. This versatile pattern ensures comfort and style, with an actual chest measurement of 40 [44½: 49: 52½: 57] in, making it suitable for various body types.

Length from the top of the saddle shoulder: 26½ [26¾: 26¾: 27¼: 27¼] in, ensuring a flattering silhouette. The sleeve length excluding saddle: is 18½ [18½: 19: 19: 19] in, providing the perfect fit for your arms.

This pattern utilizes King Cole Magnum Chunky yarn (138 metres/150 yards per 100g ball) for a cozy and warm finish. You’ll need 7, 8, 8, 9, or 9 balls of 100g each in the beautiful shade of Parsley 3119 to bring this design to life.
