When substituting yarn please be aware that a worsted weight yarn will be closer to the grist of the original yarn, despite it being described as a DK weight. As ever, getting gauge is the test of whether a substitute yarn will work well for the design. **COOMBE DAYLIGHTS and NIGHTSHADES** Coombe is a top-down raglan sweater with a timeless texture. This version is written for a beautifully drapey pullover worked in either Harrisville Designs Daylights or Nightshades. Follow the ease guidelines to get either a relaxed classic fit or a more contemporary oversized fit. Choose from two styles of sleeves to make it your own; a graceful balloon sleeve with slightly gathered cuff, or a traditional tapered sleeve. Instructions are given to help you match our sample, but because this sweater is knit top-down, body and sleeve lengths are fully adjustable. Even the collar can be customized to suit you exactly. **PATTERN INFORMATION** *SIZES* A (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I) **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Bust: 37 ¾ (41 ½, 45 ¼, 49, 54 ½, 58 ¼, 62, 67 ¾, 73 ½)" / 96 (105.5, 115, 124.5, 138.5, 148, 157.5, 172, 186.5) cm This garment is intended to be worn with 8–16" / 20.5–40.5 cm positive ease Shown in size D modeled with 15" / 37.5 cm positive ease **YARN** Harrisville Designs Nightshades/Daylights (DK weight) 85% Cormo Wool; 15% Wool/250 yards per 100 g skein For Balloon sleeve: 4 (4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7) skeins or 778 (853, 946, 993, 1134, 1222, 1377, 1478, 1681) yards of DK weight yarn For Tapered sleeve: 3 (4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7) skeins or 738 (805, 888, 935, 1065, 1154, 1305, 1406, 1585) yards of DK weight yarn **NEEDLES** Main Fabric Needle: US 9 (5.50 mm): 16" / 40 cm and 32" / 80 cm circular, and DPNs, if preferred for small circumference knitting.
