Tahki Yarns Sandpoint Pullover
What Is Being Made
The Tahki Yarns Sandpoint Pullover is an intermediate-level knitted sweater designed by Therese Chynoweth. This pullover is available in seven sizes ranging from extra-small through 3XL, with finished bust measurements from 31¾ inches (80.5 cm) to 57 inches (145 cm) and lengths from 23 inches (58.5 cm) to 26 inches (66 cm). The garment is designed to fit with 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of positive ease for a comfortable, relaxed fit.
Techniques Used
The Sandpoint Pullover is constructed using several key knitting techniques. The sweater is worked flat, meaning it is knitted in pieces rather than in the round, and then seamed together to create the finished garment. This construction method allows for precise shaping and is characteristic of traditional pullover design. The pattern incorporates cable techniques, which create textured, twisted stitch patterns that add visual interest and dimension to the fabric. Cable stitches are worked using a cable needle to manipulate the order in which stitches are knitted, creating the characteristic braided or twisted appearance.
Stitches Used
The Sandpoint Pullover features a combination of foundational and decorative stitches. The pattern includes K1, P1 Rib, a fundamental ribbed stitch pattern created by alternating knit and purl stitches. This ribbing is commonly used for cuffs, waistbands, and neckbands because it provides elasticity and helps garments maintain their shape.
The main pattern is a sophisticated combination of cable and lace elements. Specific cable crosses used in this design include 2/3 LC (left cross), created by slipping 2 stitches to a cable needle and holding them in front, then knitting 3 stitches, followed by knitting the 2 stitches from the cable needle. The pattern also employs 2/3 RC (right cross), which involves slipping 3 stitches to a cable needle, holding them in back, knitting 2 stitches, then knitting the 3 stitches from the cable needle. These cable crosses are worked in an eight-row repeat pattern that creates a dynamic, textured appearance throughout the sweater body.
Lace elements are incorporated through yarn overs (yo) and decreases (ssk and k2tog), which create small openings in the fabric. The yarn over increases are paired with decreases to maintain stitch count while adding delicate, airy details to the cable pattern. This combination of cables and lace creates visual complexity and interest while maintaining the structural integrity of the garment.
Materials
The Sandpoint Pullover is knitted using Tahki Yarns CLASSIC SUPERWASH, a 100% superwash wool yarn. Superwash wool has been specially treated to be machine washable, making it practical for everyday wear. Each skein contains 3.5 ounces (100 grams) and yields 218 yards (200 meters) of yarn. The yardage requirements range from 6 skeins for the smallest size (XS) to 11 skeins for the largest size (3XL). The pattern specifies color #01 natural, a neutral shade suitable for versatile styling.
The pattern calls for US 6 (4mm) circular needles in two lengths: a 32-inch (80 cm) needle for the main body and a 16-inch (40 cm) needle for the neckband. A set of US 6 (4mm) double-pointed needles is also required for certain sections. Additional tools include a cable needle for executing the cable crosses, stitch markers to track pattern repeats and shaping, a stitch holder or waste yarn for temporarily holding stitches during construction, and a yarn needle for seaming pieces together and weaving in ends.
Gauge and Construction Notes
Accurate gauge is essential for this project. The pattern specifies 26½ stitches and 26 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in the Lace and Cable pattern, and 26½ stitches and 27 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in the Cable pattern. Knitters are advised to take time to check their gauge before beginning, as variations in tension will affect the final garment measurements. The main cable and lace pattern is worked in an eight
