Last fall I became absolutely obsessed with this gorgeous, vivid blue colour. If I’m being honest I’ve always been obsessed with blue, and so I gave Chris the task of dyeing this perfect, ultramarine, royal blue for me. He nailed the assignment and I set to work designing my perfect brilliant blue sweater. Lush cables, a high neck, casual drop shoulder construction. It’s the type of sweater I want to live in!

Sizes
91.5 (101.5, 112, 122, 132, 142) 152.5, 162.5, 173, 183 cm / 36 (40, 44, 48, 52, 56) 60, 64, 68, 72”
Sample shown is size 40” worn with approximately 8” of positive ease. 6-12” of positive ease recommended. The sizes are the actual finished measurements of the garment. Choose a size that corresponds to 6-12” larger than your bust measurement to give you the amount of ease you like.

Gauge
18 stitches and 24 rows = 10 cm / 4” square in stockinette stitch, on larger needles after wet blocking.
62 cable panel stitches = 20 cm / 8” wide

Recommended Needles
4 mm (US size 6) straight or circular needle for ribbing, sweater is knit flat.
5 mm (US size 8) straight or circular needle for body.
Same sizes in your preferred needle style for small circumference knitting in the round for sleeve and collar. DPNs or a smaller circumference circular needle.

Yarn
Tanis Fiber Arts PureWash DK (113g = 260 yds) and Kid Mohair (50g = 459 yds), both in the Brilliant colourway. Yarn is held together throughout. Or any yarn or yarn combo that gives you gauge. 2 strands of fingering held together or 1 strand of worsted weight should also work well.

Approximate total yardage:
759 (841, 937, 1006, 1097, 1143) 1244, 1294, 1372, 1440 m / 830 (920, 1025, 1100, 1200, 1250) 1360, 1415, 1500, 1575 yds
If using 2 yarns held together you’ll need the above yardage in both yarns.

Additional Tools and Materials
2 stitch markers, 1 removable stitch marker, cable needle, waste yarn or stitch holder, tapestry needle.
