THIS KNITTING PATTERN IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT AND IN ENGLISH ONLY! The Champagne pullover has a boxy fit and dropped shoulders. It is knitted seamlessly top-down with a cable and lace pattern on the front, back and the sleeves. The pullover is started at the back neck and increased to the full width of the back. The increases over the cable pattern are fully charted. Then stitches are picked up for the shoulders and worked as the front of the pullover. The front and back are joined at underarm and the body is then worked in the round. Stitches are then picked up from the body for the sleeves and the neckband. The sleeves have a bit of short-row shaping at the sleeve caps to improve the fit. The hem and cuffs are finished with a tubular bind off, which provides a beautiful and stretchy edge that looks like the stitches roll over the edge to the other side of the ribbing. The neckband is folded double in the end. For the stitch patterns to show best, I recommend choosing unicolor or slightly tonal colorways. The Champagne pullover is worked by holding one strand of fingering weight yarn together with a strand of silk mohair but you can also knit it using a single strand of DK weight yarn.

I recommend trying the sweater on every now and then while working on it to make sure you get the perfect length for your style. Please be aware that adjusting the lengths of the garment will also affect the amount of yarn needed to finish the project. Yarn Note: If you are working with DK weight yarn, you will need only the amount listed for the fingering weight yarn.
