Meabh Sweater

Originally the Stolen Stitches Autumn 2025 KAL. This sweater combines a contiguous sweater shoulder construction with brioche, which makes for an intriguing knit. If you are new to contiguous shoulder construction, this is a great pattern to try it out on! All of the shoulders and sleeves are worked with increases only from the top down. Gentle body pattern is created on the front and back by working increases and decreases on each side of the brioche panels. This creates shape to the body without ever changing the number of stitches. Sleeves are kept full, with fast decreases towards the cuff and one by one ribbing that draws the cuff in. > There are [kits available for the > Meabh sweater available here.][1] [The > workshop can be found here.][2] **SIZES To Fit Actual Bust Circumference Up To:** 33.5 (37, 40.5, 42.75, 46.25, 49.5, 51.75, 55.25, 58.75, 62.25)" / 85 (94, 103, 108.5, 117.5, 125.5, 131.5, 140.5, 149, 158) cm *3 - 5" / 7.5 – 12.5 cm positive ease recommended.* **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Bust Circumference:** 36.5 (40, 43.5, 45.75, 49.25, 52.5, 54.75, 58.25, 61.75, 65.25)" / 92.5 (101.5, 110.5, 116, 125, 133.5, 139, 148, 157, 165.5) cm 40" / 101.5 cm modelled with 5" / 12.5 cm of positive ease. **Length From Back of Neck:** 21.25 (21.75, 22.25, 23, 23.25, 24, 24.5, 24.75, 25, 25.5)" / 54 (55.5, 56.5, 58.5, 59, 61, 62, 63, 63.5, 65) cm **YARN** Stolen Stitches ‘Blasta’ (60% Irish wool, 40% New Zealand wool; 232 yds / 212 m per 3.6 oz / 100g); Colour: Corc; 5 (5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9) skeins **Approximate Yardage:** 1029 (1113, 1195, 1277, 1363, 1453, 1568, 1660, 1737, 1869) yds / 941 (1017, 1092, 1167, 1245, 1327, 1433, 1517, 1587, 1708) m **NEEDLES & NOTIONS** US size 6 / 4 mm circular needles, 32” / 80 cm long or length needed for size plus 20” / 50 cm for neck edging Set of US size 6 / 4 mm dpns (if not using magic loop for sleeves) *Always use a needle size that gives you the gauge listed, as every knitter's gauge is unique.* Tapestry needle, stitch markers, waste yarn or Barber Cord. **GAUGE** 14 sts and 38 rows / rnds = 4" / 10 cm in Brioche Stitch blocked 21 sts and 28 rnds = 4” / 10 cm in 1 by 1 Ribbing blocked [1]: https://stolenstitches.com/products/meabh-yarn-kit [2]: https://stolenstitches.com/products/project-workshop-meabh-sweater
