ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN MAKING STORIES MAGAZINE ISSUE 3 (MARCH 2020)
UPDATED IN AUGUST 2024
Pale Shelter is a top-down circular yoke sweater with lovely design details: A reinforced neckline achieved by holding the yarn double, a line of eyelets tracing the sides of the body, and a twisted stitch seam running down the back. The pattern comes with optional A-line shaping and two sleeve versions: regular sleeves (as pictured), and Bishop sleeves.
SIZES
1 (2, 3, 4)(5, 6, 7)(8, 9 10)
Bust circumference (finished measurements): 89 (94.5, 101, 107.5)(116.5, 123, 131.5)(138.5, 153, 159) cm / 35.6 (37.8, 40.4, 43)(46.6, 49.2, 52.6)(55.4, 61.2, 63.6)”.
YARN
1120 (1200, 1240, 1300)(1440, 1500, 1540, 1590, 1630) m yds of De Rerum Natura Antigone (pure organic linen, 260 m / 284 yds per 100 g).
CC yarn for optional contrast stripe: 30 metres / 32 yards
Sample shown is knit in colourway Heron. Claudia wears a size 3 with regular sleeves and 26.5 cm / 10.5” of positive ease.
NEEDLES
— 5 mm / US 8 circular needle with a cable length of at least 80 cm / 32” (or needle size to obtain gauge)
— 4 mm / US 6 circular needle with a cable length of at least 80 cm / 32” (or needle one or two sizes smaller than main needle)
GAUGE
20 sts x 25 rounds = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” in the round, in stockinette stitch, on larger needle, after blocking.
Please, note that linen stretches by 10-20% after blocking so you’ll need to measure your swatch before and after blocking. As a reference, the swatch for the sample had 22 sts x 28 rounds in 10 x 10 cm before blocking.
NOTIONS
Scissors, waste yarn or stitch holders, markers in two different colors (use one color to mark the BOR and fake seams and a different color for the bias motive). You will need an extra circular cable to work the provisional cast on and an additional needle to work the three-needle bind-off.
