Berroco Faye Knitted Sweater
What Is Being Made
Faye is an intermediate-level knitted sweater designed by Amy Christoffers. This garment features a drop-shoulder construction and is worked in one continuous piece from side to side, beginning at the right sleeve cuff and finishing at the left sleeve cuff. The sweater is finished with fringe detailing and comes in nine size options ranging from 36 inches to 72 inches bust measurement, with corresponding length adjustments from approximately 21 to 23.5 inches.
Knitting Techniques
The Faye sweater employs several key knitting techniques suited to intermediate skill levels. The garment utilizes circular needle construction, worked flat rather than in the round, allowing for seamless side-to-side assembly. The drop-shoulder design simplifies shaping by eliminating complex armhole decreases. Knitters will work ribbed cuffs at both sleeves and incorporate fringe finishing as a decorative element. The side-to-side construction method requires careful attention to sleeve length adjustments based on individual measurements, as the pattern notes that sleeve length is determined by the total measurement from center back neck to wrist, with sleeves becoming shorter as the body widens.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette Stitch (St st): The primary stitch throughout the garment body and sleeves, creating a smooth, classic knit fabric
- Ribbing (K2, P2): Used for the sleeve cuffs to create elasticity and a fitted finish at the wrists
Materials and Gauge
The Faye sweater is designed to be worked with Berroco Summer Sesame yarn, a lightweight option perfect for warm-weather wear. Depending on size selection, knitters will need between 4 and 7 balls of yarn (100 grams each) in colorway #5243 Amber. The pattern requires two circular needles: a 32-inch circular needle in size 7 (4.5 mm) for the main fabric and a 16-inch circular needle in size 5 (3.75 mm) for the ribbed cuffs. Waste yarn is needed to hold stitches during construction. The recommended gauge is 20 stitches and 32 rows over 4 inches in stockinette stitch on the larger needle. Achieving proper gauge is essential for accurate finished measurements and proper fit, as the pattern provides specific bust measurements ranging from 36 to 72 inches with 4 to 8 inches of positive ease recommended.
