Florence Pullover

> Florence is 20% off until Sunday Sept > 13, no code needed! Even though this sweater has strong *Elton* vibes, I just had to name it *Florence*! I don't know why, but while knitting this sweater, the terracotta color of the yarn took me on an imaginary trip to this old city, and I pictured myself perched on a rooftop among weathered domes and sun-warmed tiles, watching the city glow in the late afternoon light. **Florence** is a lightweight, seamless circular yoke pullover with a relaxed, easy-to-wear fit. Worked from the top down, it combines fingering weight wool with a delicate strand of mohair to create subtle horizontal stripes. Purl ridges add another layer of texture. The pullover is designed with a slightly deeper-than-usual yoke for a relaxed silhouette. Instructions are included for adjusting the yoke depth if you prefer a closer fit beneath the arms. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) Shown in size 3 on a 36" (90 cm) bust. Recommended ease: 2–4" (5–10 cm) of positive ease. **YOKE FIT CONSIDERATION** This pullover has a deeper yoke than usual to create a relaxed fit. If you prefer it to fit closer to your underarm, you may shorten the yoke to approximately 1" (2.5 cm) more than your actual armhole depth, making sure that you still work all the necessary increases. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** See schematic in the photo gallery. **Bust circumference:** 32 (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68)" [80 (90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170) cm] **MATERIALS** **Main Yarn** 3 (4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7) skeins of *Maven* by Ritual Dyes (100% wool; 265 yards/242 m per 50 g skein) Or approximately: 795 (874, 954, 1060, 1192, 1325, 1457, 1590, 1722, 1855) yards [726 (798, 871, 968, 1089, 1210, 1331, 1452, 1573, 1694) m] of fingering-weight yarn.
