Product Description
Beautifully balanced cables offer fantastic texture and interest in the Tahki Yarns Wells Pullover. Try your hand at six different cable panels in this sweater, getting a sampler’s worth of variety all with a cohesive look. A classic crew neckline and set-in sleeve construction is the perfect canvas for cabling and the texture pops in Superwash Merino Worsted Twist, a soft and smooth wool yarn that’s perfect for sweaters. The Wells Pullover is worked in the round from the bottom up to the underarms, where the front and back are completed separately and seamed at the shoulders. Sleeves are also knit in the round to the underarm, where the cap is finished flat before being set into the armhole during finishing. From casual to elegant, the Wells Pullover will elevate any outfit you add it to, and it’ll keep you comfortable while adding graceful style. Cable patterns are charted only.

Tahki Yarns Wells Pullover
What Is Being Made
The Wells Pullover is a classic knitted sweater designed by Therese Chynoweth, offered in five sizes ranging from Small to 2X. This intermediate-level pullover features a crew neckline and is available in a beautiful raspberry colorway. The garment is designed to fit with 4–6 inches of positive ease, providing a comfortable, relaxed fit. Bust measurements range from 37½ inches (Small) to 56¾ inches (2X), with lengths varying from 21 to 25 inches depending on size.
Techniques Used
The Wells Pullover employs a combination of knitting techniques to create its finished structure. The sweater is worked flat on straight needles for most sections, then worked in the round for other portions, utilizing both 16-inch and 32-inch circular needles. The construction method is bottom-up, meaning knitters begin at the lower edge and work upward toward the shoulders and neckline. Individual pieces are seamed together to complete the garment, creating clean, professional-looking joins. This multi-technique approach allows for both the flexibility of flat knitting and the seamless quality of circular knitting where appropriate.
Stitches and Cable Work
The Wells Pullover features prominent cable patterns as a central design element throughout the sweater. The pattern incorporates several specialized cable stitches, including 1/2 LC (1 over 2 left cross), 1/2 RC (1 over 2 right cross), and 2/1 LC (2 over 1 left cross), which are worked using a cable needle to create the characteristic twisted rope-like textures. Beyond cables, the pattern employs fundamental knitting stitches including knit and purl stitches, as well as shaping techniques such as K2tog (knit 2 together) for decreases and M1L (make 1 left) and M1p (make 1 purlwise) for increases. The right twist (RT) stitch is also featured, adding textural interest to the design.
Materials and Gauge
The Wells Pullover is knitted using Tahki Yarns Superwash Merino Worsted Twist, a 100% superwash merino wool yarn. The yardage requirements vary by size, ranging from 5 skeins for the Small size to 8 skeins for the 2X size. Each skein contains 3.5 ounces (100 grams) and provides 221 yards (200 meters) of yarn, making this a worsted-weight project suitable for relatively quick completion. The pattern specifies US size 8 (5mm) circular needles—both 16-inch and 32-inch lengths—as well as US size 8 (5mm) double-pointed needles for smaller circumferences. A cable needle is essential for executing the cable stitches. The required gauge is 20 stitches and 26 rounds or rows over 4 inches (10 centimeters) when worked over the cable patterns. Knitters should verify gauge before beginning to ensure proper fit and finished measurements.
Additional Supplies
Beyond yarn and needles, the Wells Pullover pattern requires stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and shaping points, stitch holders or waste yarn for holding stitches temporarily during construction, and a yarn needle for seaming pieces together and weaving in ends.
