• Product description

  Color inversion sets this elegant pullover apart. A five-color Loft gradient graces the lower torso and sleeves, with a snowfall of stranded colorwork blending the transitions. The yoke is a modified raglan with novel repositioning of the decreases to form plumes of flowing stitches. Gentle A-line shaping and a ribbed neckband wide enough to allow layering make this piece easy to wear and love. Consider a soothing run of greens, blues, or greys as alternative palettes.

  Designer: Julie Hoover

  Collection: Yokes

  CONSTRUCTION

  • The body and sleeves are worked circularly from the bottom up and joined at the underarms, then the yoke is worked in the round to the neckline. Stitches are bound off at the center front neck, then work continues back and forth to shape the neck. The neckband is picked up and worked in the round after the garment is blocked.

  
  

  FINISHED DIMENSIONS

  • 35¼ (39, 43, 46¾, 50½, 54½)” [89.5 (99, 109, 118.5, 128.5, 138.5) cm] circumference at chest
  • Sample shown is size 39″ [99 cm] with 5″ [12.5 cm] ease on model

  Need help picking a size? See our resource page on Selecting a Sweater Size 101.

  
  

  GAUGE

  • 25 stitches & 34 rounds = 4″ in stockinette stitch or chart pattern, after blocking

  
  

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

  
  

  NEEDLES

  Size A (for Single-Color Rounds of Main Fabric)

  • One each 24″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed
  • Suggested Size: 3¾ mm (US 5)

  
  

  Size B (for Two-Color Rounds of Main Fabric)

  • One each 24″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of DPNs*, one size larger than Size A
  • Suggested Size: 4 mm (US 6)
  • Due to significant variance among knitters, your colorwork fabric should be swatched and wet-blocked prior to knitting your sweater to determine whether or not this needle size should be larger, smaller or equal to Size A. Please read about Speed-Swatching for Circular Knitting (see Special Techniques).

  
  

  Size C (for Ribbing and Collar)

  • One each 16″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of DPNs*, one size smaller than Size A
  • Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)

  
  

  Size D (for Collar and optional Tubular Cast On)

  • One each 16″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of DPNs*, one size smaller than Size C
  • Suggested Size: 3¼ mm (US 3)

  
  

  Size E (for Collar)

  • One 16″ circular needle, one size smaller than Size D
  • Suggested Size: 2¾ mm (US 2)

  
  

  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.

  
  

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

  
  

  Please note: the stitch patterns in this garment are charted only.
