ECLIPSE OF MOTHS SWEATER

The inspiration for this sweater pattern is super obvious - moths are pretty much the goth version of butterflies, so they’re the perfect motif for a sweater that feels spooky yet cute. According to the dictionary, a group of moths is called an eclipse, and as a huge grammar and etymology nerd I just had to make it the name of this sweater.

This pattern comes in 9 sizes:
A - 81 cm
B - 89 cm
C - 101 cm
D - 111 cm
E - 121 cm
F - 133 cm
G - 141 cm
H - 151 cm
I - 161 cm

The sizes represent the circumference of the finished sweater, measured at the bust. The size you choose should be 5-10 cm larger than the widest area of your bust.

For the light beige sweater with black moths, I used Rauma finull held double with Sysleriget silk mohair. These yarns held double are about the equivalent of a sport weight yarn.
The gauge for the pattern is 20 st/20 rows=10cm in plain stockinette and colorwork stockinette.

Estimated yardage:
Size A: 900 meters of color A, 100 meters of color B.
Size B: 1000 meters of color A, 100 meters of color B.
Size C: 1100 meters of color A, 150 meters of color B.
Size D: 1350 meters of color A, 150 meters of color B.
Size E: 1600 meters of color A, 200 meters of color B.
Size F: 1800 meters of color A, 200 meters of color B.
Size G: 1900 meters of color A, 250 meters of color B.
Size H: 2000 meters of color A, 250 meters of color B.
Size I: 2200 meters of color A, 250 meters of color B.

Please note that the yardage recommendations can never be 100% accurate, the amount of yarn that a project requires can vary from person to person. With that said, the recommended yarn amounts are based on how much yarn my test knitters needed, rounded up so that nobody ends up running out of yarn based on my recommendations.
