Carbeth (Pullover)

If you're looking for a quick sweater to whip up before the fall weather really hits, this is IT! The uses chunky weight yarn, 6mm/US10 needles, so it goes fast! The design is simple, elegant, and makes for a very easy to wear sweater with a little bit of interest in the details. It's easy to change the measurements (make the body longer, make the neck longer or shorter, etc). We used the same yarn, , but in a more interesting colour, 08 Rum Raisin (in the skein it looks brownish, but knitted up it looks more like an oxblood/dark red). We tried out the black/grey colourway , but I think it's time to get some colour back into our lives!

Yarns

We used , which gave it a contemporary look for a great price (the project used less than two skeins, and came in under $70). I've also seen it made a few times with , which is a softer merino wool, has more body and definition and still comes in under $76. If you need something machine washable you can't go wrong with .

Mods

The pattern is a cropped style and we added one inch to the length of the body. I think if I was to make one for myself I'd like the neck longer - I like it all oversized and cozy.
