MEDIEVAL MIDNIGHT SWEATER

This pattern is inspired by stained glass windows
and gothic architecture. What inspires me about
stained glass windows is the way they can
transform light - there is something magical about
the way a stained glass window can turn daylight
into an iridescent haze.

This pattern comes in 9 sizes:
A - 81 cm
B - 89 cm
C - 101 cm
D - 111 cm
E - 121 cm
F - 133 cm
G - 141 cm
H - 151 cm
I - 161 cm

The sizes represent the circumference of the finished sweater, measured at the bust. The size you choose should be 5-10 cm larger than the widest area of your bust.

I used Madelinetosh Merino light yarn for the sweater displayed on this page, 100 grams=366 meters, held double with Sandnes tynn silk mohair yarn, 25 grams=210 meters. When these yarns are held double, they are the equivalent of a single strand of sport weight yarn, 50 grams=150 meters.

I have used Sysleriget Cashmere Sock yarn for dark grey sweater displayed in the photos on this page, 100 grams=400 meters, held double with Drops silk mohair yarn, 25 grams=210 meters.

When these yarns are held double, they are the equivalent of a single strand of sport weight yarn, 50 grams=150 meters.
You don’t need to use silk mohair if you don’t want to, a sport weight wool yarn is enough, as long as it meets the required gauge of 20 st/20 rows in plain stockinette.

The gauge for the pattern is 20 st/20 rows=10cm in plain stockinette and colorwork stockinette.

Estimated yardage:
Size A: 900 meters of color A, 100 meters of color B.
Size B: 1000 meters of color A, 100 meters of color B.
Size C: 1100 meters of color A, 150 meters of color B.
Size D: 1350 meters of color A, 150 meters of color B.
Size E: 1600 meters of color A, 200 meters of color B.
Size F: 1800 meters of color A, 200 meters of color B.
Size G: 1900 meters of color A, 250 meters of color B.
Size H: 2000 meters of color A, 250 meters of color B.
Size I: 2200 meters of color A, 250 meters of color B.

Please note that the yardage recommendations can never be 100% accurate, the amount of yarn that a project requires can vary from person to person. With that said, the recommended yarn amounts are based on how much yarn my test knitters needed, rounded up so that nobody ends up running out of yarn based on my recommendations.
