Noah Sweater

**NOAH SWEATER** Noah is a dropped shoulder, seamless and top-down sweater with a beautiful wide cable at the front and back. The cable forms a perfect wickerwork, and makes for a very interesting texture. The cable pattern is charted, but is easy to memorize and consists of an 8-round repetition only. The back is worked first, than stitches for the front panels are picked up from the cast on seam. The sleeves are included in the yoke, which is worked circular from the closing of the neckline on. The neckline is not tight, since I personally like this better this myself. If you prefer a higher neckline, instructions are added to modify this part and make the neckline higher. **Sizes** Size 1 (2, 3, 4) {5, 6, 7} 8, 9, 10, finished bust circumference: 84 (90, 98, 108) {118, 128, 138} [148, 154, 164] cm 33.25 (35.5, 38.75, 42.5) {46.5, 50.5, 54.5} [58.25, 60.75, 64.75] inches **Gauge** Sample is knitted with needle size 5,0mm Measured over stockinette stitch after blocking: 17 stitches & 29 rows is 10cm / 4” **Yarn** Sweater sample: size 3, knitted with Ístex Spuni Including a generous swatch of 20x20cm / 8x8’, you will need: Size 1 (2, 3, 4) {5, 6, 7} [8, 9, 10] 970 (1044, 1132, 1240) {1360, 1470, 1596} [1722, 1802, 1926] meter / 1078 (1160, 1258, 1378) [1512, 1634, 1774] {1914, 2003, 2140} yards When using Spuni, this equals 510 (549, 595, 653) [715, 773, 840] {906, 947, 1012} grams **Needles and notions** Large circular needles size 5.0mm for the body (or size to fit gauge), size 4.0mm (or one mm smaller than the bigger needles) for the band 12” (30 cm) or smaller circular needles, same size as body, for the sleeves, size 4.0 for the cuff Stitch markers: 6, of which 1 stands out as a beginning of round marker Yarn or large safety pin to put stitches on hold Tapestry needle, scissors
