• Product description

  What Brando would have pulled on over that famous white T-shirt if “Streetcar” had been set farther north. Distinctive shoulders elevate this staple pullover: the sleeves are a classic set-in shape, but a ribbed motif worked from large charts creates a handsome raglan effect. Rift is knit in Shelter, worked in the round until the underarms. A generous crew neck worked with a sewn bind-off allows for a comfortable fit over collared shirts and provides a minimalist finish to coordinate with the shoulder details. Turned-back cuffs and hems in single rib lend a casually sporty touch. This sweater is designed for everyday wear, so choose a color that will work with any outfit.

  NEEDLES

  Size A (for Main Fabric):

  • One each 16″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed
  • Suggested Size: 4½ mm (US 7)

  
  

  Size B (for Ribbing and Neckband):

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

  
  

  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: 3¼ mm (US 3)

  
  

  *32″ circular needle can be used instead of DPNs and 16″ circular 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.

  
  

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