Sweater SEVEN
This stylish sweater pattern is expertly designed to be worked seamlessly in the round, creating a beautiful garment from the bottom up. The construction begins with the sleeves, which are knitted first and then set aside. You'll join the sleeves at the underarm before finishing the yoke, ensuring a neat and polished finish to your sweater. This method not only enhances the overall appearance but also provides a comfortable fit.
YARN:
For this project, we recommend using Cascade 220 Sport in the captivating Colour: Stormy Weather. You'll need approximately 950 (1000, 1100, 1200, 1400, 1500, 1650, 1750) meters to create your sweater. This yarn choice ensures both warmth and durability, making it perfect for everyday wear.
NEEDLES:
To achieve the desired tension and structure, you'll require long circular needles in sizes 3.5 mm and 4 mm for the hemline and body. For the sleeves and neckline, short circular needles and/or double-pointed needles (DPNs) in 4 mm will work best.
GAUGE:
It's essential to match the gauge of 20 stitches by 28 rounds over a 4x4” (10x10 cm) square in stockinette stitch using 4 mm needles in the round. Achieving this gauge ensures your sweater fits perfectly and drapes beautifully.

Available in a wide range of sizes, the pattern accommodates XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL) to fit various body types and preferences.
