This pattern is available to download from Ravelry . Inspired by Japanese wisterias in full bloom, the Laceleaf pullover features delicate latticework on the yoke. Knit in Peerie, a 4-ply Merino wool yarn, the lace juxtaposes crisply against stockinette stitch in this lightweight seamless sweater. Dainty yet contemporary, Laceleaf is a versatile piece for seasonal transitions and a satisfying knit. Yarn 6 (7, 7, 8, 9, 11) skeins of Brooklyn Tweed Peerie (100% American Merino Wool; 210 yards/50 grams) Note: The third and fourth sizes use all, or nearly all, 7 and 8 skeins, respectively. You may wish to consider purchasing an extra skein due to variations in individual work. Photographed in color Palazzo Yardage 1220 (1330, 1470, 1670, 1850, 2280) total yards of fingering weight wool yarn Gauge 25 stitches & 40 rounds = 4" in stockinette stitch with Size A needle(s), after blocking 25 stitches & 40 rounds = 4" in Yoke Chart pattern with Size B needle(s), after blocking Note: Be sure to swatch both stitch patterns to ensure proper sizing. Correct length of the one-piece yoke is dependent upon achieving the stated round gauge. Needles Size A (for Main Fabric) One each 16", 24" and 32" circular needles and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed Suggested Size: 3.5 mm (US 4) Size B (for Yoke Chart and Ribbing) One each 16", 24", and 32" circular needles and one set of DPNs*, in size needed to obtain gauge listed Suggested Size: 3.25 mm (US 3) Due to significant variance among knitters, your Yoke Chart fabric should be swatched and wet-blocked prior to knitting your sweater to determine whether this needle size should be larger, smaller or equal to Size A. Size C (optional for Tubular Cast On) One 16" circular needle, one size smaller than Size B Suggested Size: 3 mm (US 2.5) Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch. *32" circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round (e.g. sleeves).
