A sister design to the Novembris Light Sweater, Novembris Soft is worked in worsted weight yarn and embodies the ultimate big, soft, cozy sweater energy. The sweater has a boxy silhouette and is worked sideways, with the front and back made separately and shaped to create a distinctive European-style shoulder. Textured flat crochet cables are formed as you work using a combination of short rows and slip-stitch techniques, while the ribbing is fully integrated and worked seamlessly alongside the main fabric. The sleeves are worked separately and sewn into the armholes. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) **Finished bust:** 38 (45.5, 56, 64, 74.5)" / 96 (116, 142, 162, 189) cm **To fit bust:** 26–30 (33.5–37.5, 44–48, 52–56, 62.5–66.5)" / 66–76 (85–95, 112–122, 132–142, 159–169) cm Designed to fit with 8–12" / 20–30 cm of positive ease. **MATERIALS** Worsted weight yarn (CYC #4, Medium) Isager Soft (56% alpaca, 44% organic pima cotton), 137 yds / 125 m per 50-g skein, or use any worsted weight wool blend blown yarn to achieve a similar effect Shown in colorway E4S **Estimated yardage / meterage** 959 (1096, 1370, 1644, 2055) yd / 875 (1000, 1250, 1500, 1875) m 7 (8, 10, 12, 15) skeins **GAUGE** 14 sts and 12 rows = 4' / 10 cm over main stitch pattern **HOOK** K/10.5 / 6.5 mm, or size needed to obtain gauge **NOTIONS & SKILLS REQUIRED** Tapestry needle, stitch marker, 2 rustproof pins.
