The Haar Pullover is a fingering weight striped sweater worked in stockinette. A haar is a coastal sea fog, common in the warmer months in Scotland and Northern England, and this design felt like the perfect lightweight cozy knit for a cool foggy evening. The yoke is constructed using a contiguous saddle shoulder method to shape the shoulders first, then sleeve increases, and then raglan increases. The yoke section is worked to an upper bust measurement, and the body has some additional increases to the full bust measurement (size dependent). The collar, cuffs and hem are worked in stockinette with a neat rolled edging. The sweater is designed to fall to a slightly cropped length. The pattern is intended to be a boxy fit, but has options for waist shaping if desired, as well as adjusting length as needed for the body and sleeves. This is a size inclusive design, written for 11 sizes (28-68 inch / 70-170 cm finished upper bust, in 4 inch / 10 cm increments) and designed for 2-6 inches / 5-15 cm of positive ease.

Note: The sizes reflect the FINISHED upper bust measurements in inches / cm of the sweater, and listed below you can see the recommended actual upper bust range for each size. The sweater is designed for 2-6 inches / 5-15 cm of positive ease. To determine the size you wish to knit, measure your upper bust and add 2-6 inches / 5-15 cm to find the closest size. If your upper and full bust measurements fall into different sizes, you should choose size based on upper bust and shoulder width, as the additional increases in the body to the full bust measurement are easily adjustable. My sample is knit with about 5 inches / 12.5 cm of positive ease (Size 4 (with some slight waist shaping) on a 35 inch / 87.5 cm upper bust, 36.5 inch / 91.5 cm full bust, and 29 inch / 72.5 cm waist).

Needles recommended:

• 3.75 mm / US 5 / UK 9 (or size needed to obtain gauge) - main body
• 3.25 mm / US 3 / UK 10 (or two sizes down from the main needle) - rolled edges
• Cord length to match your bust measurement as well as 9-16 inch / 22.5-40 cm cord for the sleeves (or DPNs or 32-40 inch / 80-100 cm cord for the magic loop method).

Gauge (blocked):
Stockinette - Body:
Using 3.75 mm / US 5 / UK 9 (body) needles and working in stockinette in the round.

4 x 4 inch / 10 x 10 cm = 24 sts x 32 rows/rounds

Stockinette - Rolled Edge:
Using 3.25 mm / US 3 / UK 10 (rolled edge) needles and working in stockinette in the round.

4 x 4 inch / 10 x 10 cm = 25 sts x 34 rounds

Note: If your stitch count is correct for gauge but round count is a bit off in either direction, continue using this needle size, but keep in mind you may need to adjust your length by adding/removing rounds.

Yarn recommended:
Any fingering weight yarn that you can match gauge with. I recommend a non-superwash wool yarn to get the same fabric and drape as my sample. Superwash wool should also be fine but tends to stretch out more than non-superwash wool so keep that in mind when figuring out gauge and measuring lengths.

Sample is knit using Treehouse Knits Natural NSW Sock (437 yds / 400 m per 100g) in the colourways A Bird May Love A Fish (MC) and Japan (CC).

A great commercial alternative is KnitPicks, their Palette line is a great NSW fingering base!

Yardage required:
The yardage listed below shows the total yardage (can be used if you want to knit your sweater in a solid colour) as well as split by MC and CC (approx. 31% CC and 69% MC) for the stripes.

Estimated yardage / meters - Total:
962(1050, 1216, 1377)1456, 1591, 1743{1885, 2054, 2111, 2180} yds / 877(960, 1112, 1259)1331, 1455, 1594{1724, 1878, 1930, 1993} meters

Estimated yardage / meters - MC:
666(727, 841, 953)1007, 1101, 1206{1304, 1421, 1461, 1509} yds / 609(665, 769, 871)921, 1007, 1103{1193, 1299, 1336, 1380} meters

Estimated yardage / meters - CC:
296(323, 375, 424)449, 490, 537{581, 633, 650, 671} yds / 271(295, 343, 388)410, 448, 491{531, 579, 594, 613} meters

Additional yardage / meters per inch / 2.5 cm:
29(33, 39, 43)47, 51, 55{59, 65, 69, 73} / 27(30, 36, 39)43, 47, 50{54, 59, 63, 67} meters

Note: Yardage is an approximation and is calculated using the recommended length (see schematics on pages 5-6) and no waist shaping, plus a 5% buffer. Allow for extra yardage if choosing to do any body or sleeve length modifications. The yardage can vary depending on your gauge and knitting, so I always recommend buying extra in case you require more yardage. Most testers used 5-10% less than the yardages listed above unless they added significant length.
