Seacross is a seamless sweater knitted from the top down with a stunning five-color yoke. The pattern includes two sets of instructions for the colorwork: one for knitters who are comfortable stranding several colors at once and one with swiss darning instructions for those who are less comfortable. Lore creates a light and lofty fabric that blooms beautifully when washed—perfect for colorwork! Yarn: The Fibre Co. Lore (100% lambswool from the English Romney sheep breed, 250 m (273 yd) per 100 g hank) in shades Calm (A) – 4 [4: 5: 5: 6: 6] hanks and Logical (B) – 1 [1: 1: 2: 2: 2] hank. The Fibre Co. Lore Minis (100% lambswool from the English Romney sheep breed, 62 m (68 yd) per 25 g ball) in shades Logical (B) – 0 [0: 0: 1: 1: 1] ball, Happiness (C) – 2 [2: 2: 2: 2: 2] balls, Heaven (D) – 3 [3: 3: 3: 3: 3] balls, and Comfort (E) – 1 [1: 1: 1: 1: 1] ball. Construction notes: Knitted from the top down in the round with a detailed 5-color yoke pattern that repeats in a wedged chart. The yoke section is worked first and then divided for body and sleeves. In sizes 30–32 to 42–44 the charted pattern continues into the sleeves. In sizes 46–48 and 50–52 the pattern stops before the sleeve divide. There is a small area where all 5 colors are worked together in one round—alternative instructions are provided for a simpler pattern with only 3 colors in a round and there is also an option to Swiss darn on additional colors Sizes and measurements: To fit bust: 76–81 [86–91: 97–102: 107–112: 117–122: 127–132] cm (30–32 [34–36: 38–40: 42–44: 46–48: 50–52] in)Finished measurements:Bust Circumference: 85 [100: 105: 123.5: 125: 134.5] cm (34.25 [40: 42.25: 49.5: 50.25: 53.75] in)Total Length: 58 [58: 59: 59.5: 61: 64] cm (22.75 [22.75: 23.25: 23.5.24.25: 25.25] in)Side Seam Length: 38 [37.5: 39: 39.5: 37: 40] cm (14.75 [14.75: 15.25: 15.5: 14.25: 15.75] in)Sleeve Seam: 46 [48: 50: 51: 51: 52] cm (18 [18.75: 19.75: 20: 20: 20.5] in)Cuff Circumference: 22.5 [22.5: 24.5: 26.5: 28.5: 28.5] cm (9.25 [9.25: 9.75: 10.5: 11.25: 11.25] in)Upper Arm Circumference: 33 [34: 36: 40: 44.5: 47.5] cm (13.25 [13.5: 14.5: 16: 17.75: 19] in)Neck Circumference: 47.5 [49.5: 51: 51: 51: 51] cm (19 [19.75: 20.5: 20.5: 20.5: 20.5] in) Recommended ease: Designed with 5–15 cm (2.75–6 in) of positive ease at chest circumference.
