Galway Guy
Pattern description from Interweave Knits, Spring 2005: “Deborah Newton has used a smorgasbord of neat cables, seed stitch, and texture patterns in this handsome crewneck pullover. To shake things up a bit (and make the knitting more interesting), Deborah incorporates a bit of asymmetry - the front and back are different from each other, and both are different from the sleeves. A smooth worsted-weight wool in muted gray-green shows off the etched stitch play.”
Finished Size: 43½ (47½, 50, 52½)“ (110½ 120½, 127, 133½ cm) chest circumference.
Yarn: Plymouth Galway (100% wool; 210 yd 192 m/100 g): #106 sage green, 9 (10, 11, 12) balls.
Needles:
- Body and sleeves - Size 7 (4.5 mm): straight.
- Edging - Size 5 (3.75 mm): straight.
- Neckband - Size 7 (4.5 mm): 16” (40-cm) circular (cir).
- Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: Cable needle (cn); markers (m); tapestry needle.
Additional Gauge:
- 25 sts and 28 rows = 4” (10 cm) average gauge over different cable patterns of front on larger needles
- 21 sts and 28 rows = 4” (10 cm) in sleeve pattern on larger needles.
Note: The back and front are worked on a different number of stitches due to the different gauges; both back and front have the same finished width.
