Chuck

Chuck is a cropped, seamless pull over with cable panels running down the front. The sweater starts at the back where each shoulder is cast on, joined at the back neck and then knit to the bottom of the armholes. After that, the back is put on hold. Stitches are picked up from each shoulder and knit. They’re joined together when the front neckline is cast on. The front is worked until the bottom of the underarms. The underarms are cast on, and the front and back are joined in the round to knit the body. When the body is finished, stitches are picked up around the armholes, and the sleeve caps are shaped with short rows. **Gauge in Stockinette:** 18 sts x 24 rows = 4 in x 4 in / 10 cm x 10 cm **Skills to Know:** Knit, purl, cast on, bind off, increase, decrease, cable, seam, picking up stitches, short rows, placing stitches on hold, removing stitches from holders, working in the round, working flat, matching gauge **Sizes:** XS (S, M, L {1X, 2X, 3X} 4X, 5X, 6X) **Finished Chest:** 29.5 (33, 37, 41 {45, 49, 53} 57.5, 61.5, 65.5) in / 75 (84, 94, 104 {114, 124, 134} 146, 156, 166) cm **Suggested Ease:** 1-4 in / 3-10 cm of negative ease **Supplies:** • US 8 / 5 mm circular needles with 16 in / 40 cm and 32 in / 80 cm cables and optional DPNs. • 600 (660, 740, 810 {890, 960, 1040} 1120, 1190, 1270) yds / 550 (605, 680, 740 {815, 880, 950} 1025, 1090, 1165) m wool worsted weight yarn. • 4 markers labeled A, B, C, and D. • Stitch holders or scrap yarn. • Cable needle.
