The Sleeping Fox Pullover

> Short Overview The Sleeping Fox Pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down using a circular yoke construction, allowing for effortless try-ons and easy customization of body and sleeve length. Subtle short-row shaping at the upper yoke gently raises the back neckline, enhancing both comfort and fit. The pattern is written for 10 adult sizes, offering flexibility in choosing your preferred ease — from a closer, more tailored fit to a generously oversized look. The sweater is knit with only two colors at a time, making it easier to knit. Additional colors can be added later using the duplicate stitch technique. If preferred, the colorwork can be carried throughout the entire sweater, though this approach may require managing three colors at once. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) (8, 9, 10) This sweater is designed to be worn with approximately 2-8 in /5-20 cm of positive ease; however, this is just a guide. Some people prefer a closer fit; do not be afraid to select an option that provides somewhat less than the suggested ease according to your own preferences. **Finished bust circumference:** 82 (94, 103, 113) *122, 131, 143) (153, 162, 170) cm / 32 (37, 40.5, 44.5) (48, 52, 56) (60, 64, 67) in **Full length measured at center front:** 52 (53.5, 54, 55.5) (56.6, 58, 59) (60, 61, 61) cm / 20.5 (21, 21.3, 21.8) (22.2, 22.8, 23.2) (23.6, 24, 24)in **Materials:** - Option 1: Fingering-weight yarn held together with lace mohair or any yarn to achieve recommended gauge (The mohair option creates a lighter, more fluid fabric) I used DROPS Flora (65% Wool, 35% Alpaca), 230yds/1.76 oz (210m/50g) + DROPS Kid-Silk (75% Mohair, 25% Silk), 230yds/1.76 oz (210m/25g) MC: DROPS Flora uni colour 02, white + DROPS Kid-Silk uni colour 38, chalk CC1: DROPS Flora mix 17, yellow + DROPS Kid-Silk uni colour 49, electric orange CC2: DROPS Flora mix 04, medium grey + DROPS Kid-Silk uni colour 10, grey CC3: Any for embroidery **Yardage** Main color White: Fingering: 54 (62, 68, 75) (82, 95, 100) (110, 120, 130) g Lace: 27 (30, 31, 36) (40, 45, 48) (54, 58, 65) g Light Yellow cc1: Fingering: 22 (24, 26, 28) (31, 33, 36) (38, 42, 48) g Lace: 11 (12, 13, 15) (16, 17, 18) (19, 22, 24) g Light Grey cc2: Fingering: 108 (120, 130, 145) (160, 180, 195) (215, 230, 260) g Lace: 55 (60, 65, 72) (80, 91, 95) (107, 115, 127) g Light Dark grey cc3: Fingering: A little Lace: A little This is approximate, so as the yardage will vary depends on your type of yarn - Option 2: Any DK/Worsted Weight (4) yarn to achieve recommended gauge Yarn alternatives: You could use any fingering yarn: Sandnes Garn Tynn Peer Gynt, Sandnes Garn Sunday, Palette, Heritage or any other fingering wight yarn Plus any lace yarn: Kid Seta by Gepard,Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair,Isager Yarn Silk Mohair,Filcolana Tilia and Saga, Drops Kid-Silk or any other to achieve recommended gauge - US 6 (4mm) circular needles or other to achieve gauge. - US 4 (3.5mm) circular needles or smaller than main needle - Needle **Gauge Blocked** (4in x 4in / 10cm) 21 sts and 27 rnds = 10 cm / 4” after blocking with main gauge needles
