Doimhne is the Gaelic word for depth.
A sweater with very simple lines to showcase a luxurious yarn.

Yarn requirements:
Size 32: 1,000 m /1,100 yds, Size 36: 1,200 m /1,300 yds, Size 40: 1,400 m /1,550 yds, Size 44: 1,600 m /1,750 yds.

Yarn advice:
The original yarn is loosely two-plied and quite lightweight with a fluffy halo.
The design of the sweater is based on these specific yarn qualities. Using a lace or fingering weight yarn with less of a halo will result in a more open fabric. Using a heavier yarn will result in a dense fabric that might grow and sag.
Especially the collar relies on the fluffy lightness of the cashmere and will look floppy in a heavier / denser yarn. Therefore I would recommend using a yarn with similar fibre content or appearance, if not for the whole body then at least for the collar.

Needle advice:
You will need a medium long circular needle (60 - 80 cm /
24 - 30’’) to knit the body in the round. The sleeves can be worked with “magic loop” or with dpns. For the collar you need a circular needle (or dpns) at about 0.5mm larger / US one size larger than the one used for the main fabric.

Construction:
The sweater is worked bottom up in the round. At the armholes it is split for front and back, which are worked separately with armhole and neckline shaping, then joined at the shoulders. The sleeves are knitted into the armholes top down with short row shaping for the sleeve cap. Finally stitches are picked up around the neckline and the collar is knitted in the round.

Sizing:
The sweater is intended to be worn with 5-8 cm / 2-3’’ of positive ease around the bust and bottom edge.

Sweater is shown in size S on a person with a 86 cm / 34’’ bust and a 94 cm / 37’’ hip.

Due to the very simple and casual shape, there are only four sizes given in fairly large increments. All measurements can – and should – be easily adapted to your individual proportions.
