NEW MODEL GARMENT…
You might have already seen this in the shop…it has received a lot of attention. Abby presented it in her email in September and Cheryl has knit it up and put it on display at the store. Here is a refresher of all the details.
Cheryl knit size D with three colours of Vintage DK, kindly modeled by Abby.
- Col. A – 4 skeins col. 2100 Snow Day
- Col. B – 2 skeins col. 2189 Charcoal
- Col. C – 2 skeins col. 2192 Chana Dal
Vertical stripes of different colours dissolve in each other as if diluted by the gentle fog, making Evanescence Sweater look ephemeral and cozy at the same time.
Straight silhouette with gently shaped shoulders and sleeve caps combined with a generous amount of positive ease creates a pullover that is incredibly comfortable to wear. The body of the sweater is knit sideways with the built-in bottom hem and has extra structure due to the three needle bind offs used as seams along the sides.

This piece can be worked in any number of colours. It will look especially good if one main colour is used to dissolve others, creating a unique palette for your sweater.

YARN SUGGESTIONS (for striping)
WORSTED WEIGHT SUGGESTIONS
Pattern: we can purchase the pattern on your behalf for about C$10.70 and have it emailed directly to you and stored in your Ravelry library, if you have one.
Gauge: 19 sts and 28 rows = 4” in stockinette, blocked
Needles
4.50 mm / US 7 for the ribbing
5.00 mm / US 8 for the body and sleeves, or size to obtain gauge
Body: long single points or circular needles on 32” / 80cm cable
Sleeves: circular needles for the magic loop method, small circumference circular needles or a set of dpns.
Construction
- The front and back are worked separately flat in a similar manner. Increases shape the first shoulder. Sets of decreases and increases create the neckline. The second shoulder is shaped with symmetrical decreases.
- 2x1 ribbing is worked along the hem to prevent stockinette from rolling.
- Once both pieces of the body are completed, the shoulders are seamed and the sides are joined with the three needle bind offs with the stitches at the future arm openings reserved.
- Short rows shape small sleeve caps. Sleeves are worked straight in the round from shoulder down to the cuff. The folded cuff is worked in 2x1 ribbing.
- The neckline stitches are picked up and the folded ribbed neck band finishes off the neck opening.
- The model sweater is knit as a sequence of stripes in 5 colours: A (held double), B (held double), C (held double), A+B (1 strand each), A+C (1 strand each). The number and width of the stripes is completely adjustable. The full sample sequence is provided on the last page of the pattern. Feel free to use it or work the stripes of any width in any other order.
Have a look at some of the colour choices our fellow Ravelry users knit!
Stay tuned and watch your inboxes next week for a thrilling surprise!!
