Cadence

• Product description

  Choose your own adventure to create a custom wardrobe staple. Cadence is knit in Shelter with options for a crew neck, V-neck, or turtleneck and for varying sleeve and torso lengths. The knitting is entirely circular. All versions sport single-ribbed edge treatments, a subtle textured pattern—worked from charted or written instructions—on the torso, and stockinette sleeves with a modified raglan shoulder for a comfortable fit. We’ve knit Cadence in three of our newest hues, but this design looks great in any color.

  Designer: Michele Wang

  Collection: Winter 2016

  GAUGE

  • 18 stitches & 32 rows/rounds = 4″ in stockinette stitch or Texture Pattern with Size A needle(s), after blocking

  Note: Correct length of the one-piece yoke is dependent upon achieving the stated row/round gauge.

  
  

  NEEDLES

  Size A (for Main Fabric)

  • One each 24″ and 32″ circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed
  • Suggested Size: 4 mm (US 6)

  
  

  Size B (for Ribbing)

  • One each 16″, 24″ and 32″ circular needle and one set of DPNs*, one size smaller than Size A
  • Suggested Size: 3¾ mm (US 5)

  
  

  Size C (optional; for Tubular Cast On only)

  • One 32″ circular needle and one set of DPNs*, one size smaller than Size B
  • Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)

  
  

  *32″ circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round (i.e., Sleeves).

  Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
