ABOUT

Surround yourself in squishy, slip stitch cables with the Bridgeland Pullover; inspired by the all-over texture of the traditional fisherman sweater. The delicate cabling creates an elegant, textured fabric and can even be knit without a cable needle!


MATERIALS

Yarn

Worsted—Lion Brand Wool-Ease in colorway Linen

  • 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool
  • 197 yds (180 m) per 3 oz (85 g) skein
  • Find this yarn on lionbrand.com or visit yarnsub.com to find comparable substitutes.

Yardage Required: 7 (7, 8, 9, 10) (11, 12, 13, 14) skeins for sizes XS (S, M, L, XL) (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X), or

  • 1250 (1350, 1500, 1650, 1825) (2000, 2200, 2400, 2650) yds
  • 1143 (1234, 1372, 1508, 1668) (1828, 2011, 2194, 2422) m

If substituting Lion Brand Wool-Ease, choose any similar, category #4, worsted weight yarn that matches gauge. Always swatch before beginning to ensure you are happy with the resulting fabric.

Notions

Tapestry needle, cable needle, 1 fixed stitch marker to mark BOR, 2 removable/locking stitch markers, scrap yarn or stitch wire/holder for placing a large number of stitches on hold.

Needles

Main Gauge Needle: Size U.S. 9 (5.5 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge

Ribbing Needle: Size U.S. 6 (4 mm) or size that is 1.5 mm smaller than Main Gauge Needle

with the following suggested cord lengths:

  • 12-16” (30-40 cm) cord for parts of the yoke and upper sleeves
  • 16-24” (40-61 cm) cord for neckline ribbing
  • 32-40” (80-100 cm) cord for yoke and body, or cord long enough to accommodate all body sts for your size
  • 8-9” (20-23 cm) circulars, DPNs, or your preferred method of smaller circumference knitting for the lower sleeve and cuffs. You can also use the magic loop method to complete the sleeves using a longer cord length, if preferred.

 

GAUGE

6 x 6" (15 x 15 cm) = 36 sts (a little over 4 cable repeats) and 36 rows in cable pattern, blocked.

For gauge swatch, cast on 50 sts and work the Bridgeland Cable Repeat (knit flat) shown on page 6. See Chart A on page 11. Block your swatch and let it dry before measuring gauge.

This cable pattern tends to shrink up like ribbing before blocking. You should be able to achieve gauge with a fabric that is lying flat naturally without having to stretch it too much in order to reach the full 6” (15 cm).

It is recommended to also swatch in the round since part of this pattern is knit flat while others are knit in the round. It is common for knitters’ tension to tighten when knitting in the round compared to knitting flat, and you may need to use a different needle size for each.

PATTERN NOTES

Skill Level: Advanced

Sizing: This sweater is written in nine sizes as follows: XS (S, M, L, XL) (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X). Make sure to follow the numbers for your size only. The amount of ease decreases as the sizes increase. This is intentional to give all sizes the best fit possible.

Stitch Counts: Stitch counts are listed after each row/rnd in italics. If no stitch count is given, there has been no change since the previous row/rnd.

Stitch Charts: Stitch charts to accompany the written pattern can be found at the end of this document.

Construction: This sweater is worked from the top-down all in one piece. You will begin by casting on stitches for the back panel and knit until you reach your specified yoke depth. Next, you will pick up stitches along the back panel cast-on edge to knit the front right and front left shoulder before joining your two front pieces into one front panel. Stitches are cast on at the underarms and you will join your front and back pieces, then continue working in the round until reaching your desired length. The sleeves are worked next, and the neckband is worked last.

Tip for Counting Rows: When checking your work and counting the number of rows/rnds you have worked, it is easiest to count the number of slipped cable crosses you have completed. Each cable repeat is 6 rows.

Gauge Flat/In the Round: Be sure to read all information in the Gauge section on previous page before beginning.

RS/WS Rows: When working flat, all odd numbered rows are RS rows and all even numbered rows are WS rows.
