CATHARSIS PULLOVER

A cabled pullover featuring a round neck.  The drop shoulder construction mirrors that of the Catharsis Cardigan, and with only a 2 stitch difference in the total number of stitches in the repeat, it is easy to substitute the charts between the two patterns.  

The Catharsis series is not complete, but this is the second instalment of four total items, including a hat and cowl.  The pullover is knit at a very dense gauge to take advantage of the high twist and beautiful spring of Trine by Spincycle Yarns.  If not using Trine, you may find more success substituting with a heavy DK or lighter worsted weight yarn.

The back and the front of the pullover are worked exactly the same until the neck shaping.  Pieces are knit flat with a selvedge and then seamed together.  The shoulders are seamed first and then sleeve lengths are measured to create perfectly fitted sleeves for each individual.

Sizes:  1 (2, 3, 4, 5) 6, 7, 8

Choose a finished chest size that represents your preferred fit and actual bust measurement.  Please note you will experience variance in the meterage for this project.  All sleeves are custom, and while I included an average meterage for them, the difference could be much greater than I encountered during testing.  The meterage was calculated off of an average of the testers in the size plus a 15% differential.  You may wish to purchase an additional ball of yarn to ensure you have enough to complete your project.
