Kerséal
Kerséal Sweater Pattern
Sizes Finished bust measurements for the Kerséal sweater are 90, 100 (110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160) cm / 35.4, 39 (43, 47, 51, 55, 59, 63) inches. This stylish and comfortable sweater is designed to be worn with 10-15 cm / 4-6 inches of ease at the bust, ensuring a flattering fit for various body types.
Yarn To knit the Kerséal sweater, you'll need fingering weight yarn combined with lace weight yarn, which results in a dreamy DK weight fabric. We recommend using Tosh Merino Light (by Madelinetosh) in the beautiful colorway Glazed Pecan, along with Mohair (by Maison Corlène) in the stunning color Glwadys. You will require approximately 885, 980 (1080, 1180, 1275, 1375, 1470, 1570) meters (970, 1075, 1185, 1290, 1395, 1505, 1610) yards of each yarn to complete your sweater comfortably.
Needles For this pattern, you'll need 4 mm (US 6) needles for the body of the sweater and 3.5 mm (US 4) needles for the ribbing, ensuring a beautiful and even texture throughout your garment.
Notions Don’t forget to gather your knitting notions! You will need stitch markers, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, some waste yarn for techniques like provisional cast-on, and beads in sizes 5 and 10 mm (0.20 and 0.40 inches) that match your yarn for a touch of embellishment.
Gauge Achieve the perfect fit by knitting a gauge swatch of 22 stitches and 30 rows per 10 cm (4 inches) after blocking. This gauge is essential for ensuring the Kerséal sweater turns out just as intended.
Embrace your knitting creativity with the Kerséal sweater pattern, a perfect project for knitters looking to expand their skills and create a cozy, fashionable piece. Whether you're gifting it or keeping it for yourself, this versatile sweater is a winter wardrobe essential!
