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. All versions sport a textured body and stockinette sleeves with a modified raglan shoulder for a comfortable fit.

Texture Pattern may be worked either from chart or written instructions.

Construction

The body and sleeves are worked circularly and joined at the underarms, then the yoke is worked in the round. For Version III, the neck shaping begins before joining the body and sleeves; the last few body rows are worked back and forth. While shaping the neck, the yoke is worked back and forth. The collar or neckband is picked up and worked in the round after the garment is blocked.

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.
