Seacross Pattern

By Becky Baker
Seacross is a seamless sweater knitted from the top down with a stunning five-colour yoke. The pattern includes two sets of instructions for the colourwork: one for knitters who are comfortable stranding several colours at once and one with swiss darning instructions for those who are less comfortable. Lore creates a light and lofty fabric that blooms beautifully when washed – perfect for colourwork!

The Seacross pattern is part of the Foundations AW19-20 Collection and is also available as a kit that includes the PDF pattern, 4-6 hanks of The Fibre Co. Lore yarn and a project bag. Read more about our eight-piece collection Foundations AW19-20 via our website blog here.

YARN:
The Fibre Co. Lore (100% lambswool, 250 m (273 yd) per 100 g hank) in Calm (A) 4 [4: 5: 5: 6: 6] hanks, Logical (B) 1 [1: 1: 2: 2: 2] hanks, Happiness (C) Heaven (D), and Comfort (E) 1 hank for all sizes. Our yardage given includes enough to knit an 8” x 8” tension swatch.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES:
Knitted from the top down in the round with a detailed 5-colour yoke pattern that repeats in a wedged chart. The yoke section is worked first and then divided for body and sleeves. In sizes 30-32 – 42-44 the charted pattern continues into the sleeves. In sizes 46-48 and 50-52 the pattern stops before the sleeve divide. There is a small area where all 5 colours are worked together in one round – alternative instructions are provided for a simpler pattern with only 3 colours in a round and there is also an option to Swiss darn on additional colours
