Estuary Sweater
Enter TIDAL at checkout for a 10% discount on this pattern until Midnight Monday 1st June 2020
Patterns have always fascinated me. I have beautiful memories of long childhood summer holidays spent at the beach, watching the patterns made by the sea as it washed across the sodden sand.
The cables on the back of Estuary Sweater are reminiscent of those languid patterns.
You will begin knitting your sweater at the top, working the raglan sleeves and incorporating the cables as you go. The hemline is a little dipped at the back to create a flattering silhouette, then the rolled hem is created with a few rounds of stocking stitch.
Sizes
The finished bust circumference is 85 (95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145, 155) cm / 34 (38, 42, 46, 50, 54, 58, 62) in and is designed to fit an upper bust circumference of 75 (85, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145) cm / 30 (34, 38, 42, 46, 50, 54, 58) in with 10 cm / 4 in positive ease.
Yarn
Fibre2Go Primo (4 ply / fingering weight; 100% MW fine merino; approx 360m per 103g).
Yardage
3 (4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6) skeins.
If substituting another yarn, use approx 1242 (1403, 1564, 1725, 1909, 2093, 2254, 2438) m / 1357 (1541, 1725, 1886, 2093, 2300, 2484, 2668) yds of a similar fingering-weight yarn.
NB: There is a 15-20% buffer included in this yardage for extra safety.
The sample (size two) used approx 315 g of Fibre2Go Primo in the colourway Estuary.
Gauge
25 sts x 34 rows = 10 cm / 4 in over stocking stitch on a 3.5 mm (US 4) needle, blocked and rested.
Always make sure that your gauge matches the pattern — especially if you’re substituting yarn.
