Yarn Information: To create this stunning piece, you will need Sport weight yarn in approximate amounts of 1190 (1360, 1460, 1600, 1700, 1920) yards / 1088 (1244, 1335, 1463, 1554, 1756) m. The recommended yarn is Purl Soho Mulberry Merino, which consists of 80% extra fine merino wool and 20% mulberry silk, delivering exceptional softness and drape. Each skein contains 247 yards / 226 m and weighs 3½ oz / 100 gr. For this project, you will require 5 (6, 6, 7, 7, 8) skeins in color #1233MM baby fawn.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 20 stitches and 32 rounds per 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch, using a size US 6 / 4 mm needle, after blocking. Notably, 20 stitches of the Body chart measure approximately 3½” / 9 cm wide, ensuring consistent sizing throughout your knitted garment.
Construction Notes: The body of this exquisite pull-over is worked seamlessly in the round from the lower edge up to the underarm. Following this, the front and back pieces are crafted separately, knitted back and forth for great shaping. Once the shoulders are beautifully seamed, sleeve stitches are expertly picked up, allowing you to knit the sleeves in the round from the top down. This method not only makes for a stylish and cozy fit but also simplifies the finishing process, ensuring a polished look.
Perfect for knitters looking to create a classic and timeless piece, this pattern accommodates a range of sizes and makes great use of high-quality yarn.
