I’d still love some feedback on Sizes 5, 7, and 8. If you’re interested in knitting one of these sizes, just reach out and I’ll send you a free copy of the pattern in exchange for your feedback.

The theme of this design is “temptation”. The yoke section features several horizontal decorative braids inspired by the Sirens of ancient Greek mythology. They used their hauntingly sweet songs in the mist to lure passing sailors, drawing them irresistibly under their spell. I hope this design also carries a touch of that same magic, capturing your heart and keeping you enchanted throughout the entire knitting process.

Yarn

Cotton-linen blends are recommended, though other yarns may also be used, provided that the required gauge is achieved.
You can use either a single strand of heavier yarn (e.g., worsted/DK weight, adjust as needed) or multiple strands of finer yarn held together (e.g., three strands of fingering weight, adjusted as needed).
Suggested Yardage (per strand):
Main Color (MC): 570 (630, 680, 780, 880) (980, 1105, 1250, 1340) yds / 521 (576, 622, 713, 805) (896, 1010, 1143, 1225) m
Contrasting Color (CC): 95 (100, 100, 110, 120) (135, 145, 155, 160) yds / 87 (91, 91, 101, 110) (123, 133, 142, 146) m
If holding multiple strands together with the same gauge, please multiply the yardage above by the number of strands to get a rough estimate of the total amount.
Yardage estimates do not include swatching. Total usage may vary depending on your actual gauge, yarn choice, modifications, and many other factors. Please ensure you have extra yarn.

Gauge

Gauge should be measured after washing and blocking.
17 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” in stockinette stitch on 5.0 mm / US 8 needles.

Needles

5.0 mm / US 8 for the main body. 4.5 mm / US 7 for the ribbing.
Adjust needle size to match the gauge.

Sizing & Finished Measurements

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9).
Finished Bust Circumference: 94 (101, 108, 115.5, 122.5) (134, 143.5, 155.5, 162.5) cm / 37 (39¾, 42½, 45½, 48¼) (52¾, 56½, 61¼, 64)″.
Recommended Positive Ease: 18–22 cm / 7–8¾″. This means the finished bust circumference of the sweater should be 18–22 cm / 7–8¾″ larger than your actual bust measurement.

Please refer to the detailed measurements in the table. Before choosing a size, pay particular attention to the finished bust measurement (a) and yoke depth (e), and how your actual gauge may affect them.
