Finished Size:
Chest measurements of 32(36, 40, 44, 48, 52) inches and a cozy length of 14(14.5, 15, 16, 16.5, 17) inches make this pullover suitable for a variety of sizes and body types. Whether you’re making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this versatile design is sure to please.
Yarn:
For this project, we recommend using Chicken Lady Fiber Arts Leghorn yarn (100% Superwash Merino wool, 136 yards/115g). You will need 4(4, 4, 5, 6, 6) skeins of the main (bottom) color and 1(1, 1, 2, 2, 2) skein(s) of the contrast (top) color. Our sample is beautifully crafted using the shades Whitecaps (top) and Rocky Shores (bottom), but feel free to choose your own favorite color combinations!
Needles:
To knit this lovely pullover, we suggest using a US #8/5.0mm circular needle with a length of 32 inches or longer, particularly for larger sizes that may benefit from a longer needle. Additionally, a set of US #8/5.0mm double pointed needles or your preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round will be necessary. Note: Always select a needle size that allows you to achieve the correct gauge.
Gauge:
The recommended gauge for this pattern is 16 stitches and 20 rows per 4 inches in stockinette stitch, worked in the round. Ensuring you meet this gauge is crucial to achieving the correct fit and appearance of your finished pullover.
