**Sabela Knitting Pattern: Top-Down Seamless Construction with Contiguous Set-In Sleeves** Discover the Sabela knitting pattern, designed for those who love to work seamlessly in rounds from the top down. This elegant pattern begins with a series of short rows that are expertly worked back and forth to shape the neck, creating a flattering fit. The yoke of the sweater is shaped using a modified version of the contiguous set-in sleeves method, a technique developed by renowned designer Susie Myers. Once the yoke shaping is complete, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, and underarm stitches are cast on, allowing for a clean transition into the body. The body is then knit in the round until it reaches the hem, creating a smooth and polished look. After finishing the body, the sleeve stitches are picked up again to knit in rounds from the top down to the cuffs, ensuring a comfortable and tailored fit. The neckline is intentionally left unfinished, offering a modern and chic aesthetic. This pattern is crafted for use with the original yarn, mYak Kupa, but we also suggest alternate yarn options below for your convenience. **Yardage Requirements:** - **C1:** 405 (427, 487, 536, 563)(645, 689, 722, 755) yards / 370 (390, 445, 490, 515)(590, 630, 660, 690) meters - **C2:** 394 (405, 443, 509, 536)(552, 645, 689, 722) yards / 360 (370, 405, 465, 490)(505, 590, 630, 660) meters For those opting for a long sleeve version, please allow approximately an additional 170 (180, 186, 191, 208)(214, 219, 230, 240) yards / 155 (165, 170, 175, 190)(196, 200, 210, 219) meters more of each color to ensure you have enough yarn for a beautiful finish. **Gauge Information:** To achieve the perfect fit, maintain a gauge of 24 stitches x 36 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) square in Stockinette stitch on the larger needle.
