A handsomely cabled pullover is never out of style, and a long-wearing mid-weight yarn is the perfect choice for a sweater to see you through the decades. At first glance, Svenson appears to be composed of traditional Aran motifs, but the honeycomb texture of the central panels incorporates purl stitches to unusual effect, and the flanking horseshoe cables playfully experiment with scale. A moss stitch ground and half-twisted rib edges complete the study in textures, putting *Arbor* through all its paces. Modified raglan construction ensures a tailored and comfortable fit. -------------------------------------------------------- **Construction** The pieces are worked separately from the bottom up and sewn together. The main fabric of the lower body is worked on a slightly smaller needle for subtle shaping. The neckband is picked up and worked circularly after garment assembly. **Yardage** 1810 (1985, 2255, 2430, 2705, 2900) total yards of DK weight wool yarn **Yarn** 13 (14, 16, 17, 19, 20) skeins Brooklyn Tweed *Arbor* (100% American Targhee wool; 145 yards / 50 grams) Photographed in color *Fleet* and *Butte* **Gauge** 22 stitches & 34 rows = 4" in Moss Stitch with Size A needle(s), after blocking 28½ stitches & 34 rows = 4" in Purl Honeycomb Chart pattern with Size A needle(s), after blocking One 32-stitch panel from Horseshoe Chart measures approximately 4" wide with Size A needle(s), after blocking 40-stitch panel from Sleeve Chart measures approximately 5½" wide with Size A needle(s), after blocking **Needles** Size A (for Upper Body and Sleeves) One pair of straight needles or a 32" circular needle in size needed to obtain gauge listed Suggested Size: 4½ mm (US 7) Size B (for Lower Body) One pair of straight needles or a 32" circular needle one size smaller than Size A Suggested Size: 4 mm (US 6) Size C (for Ribbing) One pair of straight needles or a 32" circular needle and one 16" circular needle (two if using Tubular Bind Off) two sizes smaller than Size A Suggested Size: 3¾ mm (US 5) **Finished Dimensions** 38¾ (43¼, 47¾, 51¼, 55¼, 59¾)" / 98.5 (110, 121.5, 130, 140.5, 152) cm circumference at chest Sample shown in *Fleet* is size 43¼" (110 cm) with 3¼" (8 cm) ease on model Sample shown in *Butte* is size 47¾" [121.5 cm] with 16" ease on Allison and 8¼" ease on Tammy > Need help picking a size?
