Product Description
nspired by classic ribbed and cabled pullovers, this piece has been updated with some waist shaping and skinny ribbed sleeves. A little shoulder shaping adds a perfect touch to the fit. Work the body in the round from the bottom up to the armholes, with placed cable panels on each side of the front and back. The body begins with k2, p2 rib, with the cable panels growing organically out of the ribbing. After dividing work to shape the armholes, work the front and back separately. Short-rows are used to shape the shoulders for a better fit. The sleeves are worked in the round from the cuff to the armholes, in k2, p2 ribbing. After the initial underarm bind-off, the cap is worked back and forth.
Longacre Pullover by Therese Chynoweth
What Is Being Made
The Longacre Pullover is a standard-fitting long sleeve pullover sweater designed by Therese Chynoweth. This knitted garment is available in seven sizes ranging from Small through 4XL, with finished bust measurements from 34¼ inches (87 cm) to 59½ inches (151 cm) and lengths from 24½ inches (62 cm) to 27½ inches (70 cm). The design is intended to be worn with 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of positive ease for comfortable everyday wear.
Skill Level and Construction
This is an intermediate-level knitting project, making it suitable for knitters with some experience beyond basic techniques. The pattern is written for the smallest size with larger sizes provided in parentheses throughout the instructions, allowing customization across a wide range of body measurements.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
While specific stitch details are not fully visible in the provided content, the Longacre Pullover employs standard circular knitting techniques typical of modern pullover construction. The pattern uses both circular needles in multiple lengths to accommodate the different circumferences of the body, sleeves, and neckline during construction.
Yarn and Materials
The Longacre Pullover is knitted with DK weight yarn (Light #3), requiring between 1194 and 2097 yards (1092–1917 meters) depending on the finished size. The design is shown in Plymouth Yarns Pima Rino, a blend of 70% pima cotton and 30% superwash merino wool that offers breathability and easy care. This yarn is available at 109 yards (100 meters) per 1¾ ounce (50 gram) ball, with the smallest size requiring 11 balls and the largest size requiring 20 balls of color #26 Copper.
Needles Required
- US 6 [4 mm] circular needles in both 16-inch (40 cm) and 32-inch (80 cm) lengths for body and sleeve work
- Set of 4 or 5 double-pointed needles (size not fully specified in visible content) for smaller circumference sections such as cuffs and neckline
The combination of multiple needle lengths allows for seamless construction throughout the sweater, from the ribbed cuffs and waistband to the main body and sleeve cap shaping.
