Dewy Sweater

The Dewy Sweater has a soft, rounded feel, with a simple yet gentle overall look. It is worked from the neckband, with the front and back worked together, and the instructions are easy to follow step by step, making it accessible even for beginners. The front features a cable pattern, while the back is worked in stockinette stitch, making the knitting process enjoyable and engaging. For yarn choice, I recommend something lighter than Aran weight, as slight gathering is formed on the front and sleeves. The sample is knit with Woolfolk Yarn’s Tage. It contains mohair, so the stitch definition is not very sharp, but this also gives the fabric a more refined and sophisticated look. The sweater can be worn in all seasons except summer. The model has a bust circumference of about 90 cm and is wearing size M. **SIZES** XS (S, M, L) XL (2XL, 3XL, 4XL) **YARN** Woolfolk Tage (70% Ovis 21 Ultimate Merino, 30% Mohair, 50g / 145m) 7 (8, 8, 9) 9 (10, 11, 11) skeins or 945 (1075, 1130, 1245) 1305 (1405, 1465, 1595) m / 1033.5 (1175.5, 1235.6, 1361.5) 1427.2 (1536.6, 1602.2, 1744.1) yds of worsted weight yarn. **NEEDLES** * Large: US 8 (5mm) - 32-40” / 80-100 cm circular needles for the body, 16” / 40cm circular needles for the sleeves. * Medium: US 7 (4.5mm) - 32-40” / 80-100 cm circular needles for the neckband, hem, cuff. * Small: US 6 (4mm) - 80 / 100cm circular needles for the casting on. **GAUGE** 16 stitches and 24 rows / Large needles / Stockinette stitch / 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4") / after blocking. **NOTIONS** Cable needles, stitch markers, stitch holder or waste yarn, tapestry needle. **CONSTRUCTION** The sweater begins with the neckband. After working the neckband ribbing in the round, shoulder increases are worked while the back is worked in stockinette stitch and the front is worked in pattern stitch. After the shoulder increases are completed, the back and front are worked separately flat. They are then joined at the underarm and the body is worked in the round. Stitches are picked up around the armholes, and the sleeves are worked in the round to finish.
