8 Days a Week

Worked seamlessly from the Top-Down and almost entirely in the round, the set-in sleeves of the pullover are created simultaneously with the upper bodice in a technique originally described by Barbara Walker (a photo tutorial is included in the pattern). Mini faux-cables accent the cowl neck and hem, and run along the length of the set-in sleeves. 

Shaping is accomplished via princess darts to allow for maximum flexibility for customizing the shaping. The garment is intended to be worn with anywhere from -1” to +2” of ease at the bust, so choose a size that is closest to your bust measurement. The pattern also includes a “Some Thoughts About Fit” section for more information on knitting to suit your fit preferences as well a tutorial on horizontal bust darts (in a separate file) for those wishing to add them.

Sizes 29(32, 35, 38, 41, 44, 47, 50)” finished bust sizes require: 4(4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7) skeins Swan’s Island Pure Blends Worsted (250 yds/skein, colorway Seasmoke), or 5(5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8) skeins Madelinetosh Tosh DK (225 yds/skein, colorway Robins Egg) or approximately 900(985, 1075, 1185, 1295, 1410, 1535, 1660) yards of DK weight/light worsted weight yarn.
