Description

Every man needs a basic blue sweater, but that sweater doesn’t have to be boring. In this example, Norah Gaughan brings together the classic elements popular among men – set-in sleeves, crewneck shaping, and double-ribbed edges – and she adds visual interest with a heavily textured, braided-cable yoke. To counteract the tendency of the cables to draw in, she increases stitches at the base of the yoke.

Finished Size: 40 (44, 49, 52)” (101.5 [112, 124.5, 132] cm) chest circumference. Sweater shown measures 49″ (124.5 cm).
Yarn: Goddess Yarns Phoebe (100% baby alpaca; 73 yd [67 m]/50 g): #3988 Clintonia blue, 19 (21, 23, 26) skeins.
Yarn weight: #4 – Medium
Gauge: 18 sts and 24 rows = 4″ (10 cm) in St st on larger needles; 32 sts and 28 rows = 4″ (10 cm) in cable patt on larger needles.
Needles: Body and Sleeves—Size 8 (5 mm). Ribbing—Size 6 (4 mm). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: Cable needle (cn); tapestry needle.
